Hm... that's really creative.
So the topic of "defeating death" never even arose, and with it, neither
the issues of outrunning the afterlife, nor the Judaic requirement that
dead bodies be buried without delay and without mutilation.
I'm guessing you didn't raise the topic of neurosuspension, though, and
also that you didn't talk overmuch about delays of years or decades. But
I could be wrong.
