Yes! There are lots of reports in the media about this!
This is yet more great publicity for Cryonics.
Here is the URL of the New Scientist page describing the
competition:
http://www.newscientist.com/competition/
I don't see anything indicating it is limmited to people
in the UK.
You just have to collect some stuff from hard copy
issues and answer in not more than 25 words which prize
you want and why.
Here's a draft of what I'm thinking of answering:
"I miss my grandparents terribly. If my children miss
me too, I hope through science they will finally be able
to do something about it."
What do you think? If any of your are entering, what
are you thinking of answering? It's hard to say much in
not more than 25 words.
