Well... one of my grandmothers' neighbors, whose son I played with as a child, did indeed win the lottery. (AFAIK, it was a relatively modest jackpot, but he did win!)
Also, re: cryonics: My current understanding is that being an organ donor is incompatible with cryonic preservation. Is this correct? (Myself, I think I'd rather be an organ donor...)
And now that you have selectively reported this fact, I know of CronoDAS the web forum buddy, whose grandmother's neighbor has won a modest jackpot!
What is this, six degrees of a lottery winner?
I would imagine it should be possible to freeze your brain and donate the rest of your organs?
Mostly not. The process of preparing the body for cryonics (even for neuro- or head-only patients) requires pumping preservation chemicals through the bloodstream that are incompatible with donation.
Well, yes, some of the modest jackpots are statistically almost possible, in the sense that on a large enough web forum, someone else's grandmother's neighbor will have won it. Just not your own grandmother's neighbor.
Sorry about your statistical anomalatude, CronoDAS - it had to happen to someone, just not me.
