- The January issue of -The Atlantic- presents the interesting hypothesis
- that the reason there's not more research into physical immortality is
- the influence of the death lobby... "Looking beyond the obvious -- the
- funeral parlors and cemeteries and crematoria -- we seed the insurance

- that it is actually -premised on people's dying at fairly regular
- intervals..."
