Undertaker offers funerals on Swiss glaciers.

Whereas in Germany the ashes of the deceased
can only be buried in a cemetery, in Switzerland
people are allowed to scatter them in the open
A funeral company has found a business
opportunity in this situation.

Reference to Ettinger's point if the program can create a way to facilitate 
 "not whether a simulation could be "intelligent" but whether it could have 
 feeling or life-as-we-know-it" it has always fascinated me certain 
patterns in  the study of bio-informatics.  These patterns exist either in organic  
systematics or in a machine language that is reading data from organic  
systematics.  And it turns out that the data of the DNA is in many segments  
for all life-forms a repeating code not even much distinct from a small worm 
to  a human being. Only in the small segments of the code is anything 
distinct to  the human genomics apart fom most any animal larger than the head of a 
pin. 
>From this recipe in the biological information directing multicellular  
organization everything else extends in the organization of the organism so 
that  a human being is launched on a cognitive journey. The computer can now 
read the  DNA. That is not the equation that is the challenge for the task of 
upload of a  human adult central nervous system expressing as a dynamically 
alive  person.  And computers can easily pick up and monitor the 60 cycles 
per  second brain-wave of the alert human brain.  But it is the collective  
process both of the structure built by the DNA coded instruction of physical  
biology and the dynamics of process in that living structure also 
integrative of  behavior modifications which will be the product of learning within 
the  organization of that human brain.  So it is a complex system of several  
levels of systematics.  
But none of this is beyond the total set of research materials in current  
and real science. We don't need to stop as if some kind of cosmic mystery 
holds  back research operations.  I developed the language math system as an  
undergraduate student talking to Dr. Whitehead at Drake University in 1982,  
which I copyrighted in (1987)the now patented (Popular Science, Nov 1999,  
Bancroft et al.) that can expedite with mathematics what the DNA would be 
from  the 23 amino acids. The point is precisely what Ettinger identifies as  
"structure and function, and then used this description to construct another 
 description, the simulation" which a computer IT systematics approaches  
differently than organic molecules do.  If the reliability of the structure  
of the information results in the accurate identification of the thing that  
would be the organic structure and dynamics, the result is mathematically  
facilitated regardless of the rest.  
What is not in this design is predictive dynamics.  If a thing is  
cognative in cyberspace, it is not possible to predict what future language  events 
or other cognitions will result in that dynamics process. To facilitate  the 
opportunity to be there is one thing, to say it will be a good life is  
another.  But is that anything resolved here and now with what is already  
existential here and now anyway?  Let us not get tied up in the parts of  this 
question that have never been resolved by anyone in history to date.   Let's 
fix what we can and try to do no harms where we can not fix it, and in any  
case not worry about what is still going to be a problem tomorrow. Some of 
the  problem will remain before us 200 years from now but it was there 500 
years ago  and we were not stopped by that?  It should not stop our sincere 
effort  today.  I give a simple Excel 97 and VBA examples of my amino-acid  
sequencing code for an example of how simple the computer reduces some of 
these  complex biology codons as an information storage process.

Maybe you may be interested by this emerging business, organ traffic !

2) http://ifao-society.org/artificial-organ-news/

3) http://www.artificial-organs.com/public/ijao/default.aspx (this one
is very technical)

Alot of money can be done with this in the future, but alot of
research must be done for the ethics etc...
