You've probably heard that the Mayor of Nederland, Colorado, offered
to keep the "temporarily dead" Raymond Martinot and Monique Leroy, in
case the appeal is rejected. (It doesn't seem very serious though.)

In the meantime, several people at cryo organisations contacted me,
and asked for contact info (which I provided), as they were willing to
help or make propositions.
There were a few newspaper articles here, like this one by Le Monde
(very bad, doesn't deserve translation):
http://www.lemonde.fr/recherche_articleweb/1,9687,267032,00.html
It dismisses from the start any rational foundation to cryo, speaks
about the Egyptians already trying to preserve the bodies, about our
society unable to cope with death, etc.
It even speaks about "certainty" in the case of Martinot, while he
actually said he thought his attempt had only a very small probability
to succeed. (Had he been less isolated, maybe he would have been
slightly more condident.)
Following my writing to the medias, a journalist of "Le nouvel
observateur" is preparing a seemingly more interesting and thorough
article and we will talk about it together tomorrow morning.
Finally, a nice picture, not shown in the media:

Advice and suggestions always welcome. (probably best in private, but
do as you see fit)
