Interesting - I wonder if they'll ever be able to replicate rubies or emeralds.....
I want to be a Blue Sapphire!!
Would this procedure short-circuit reincarnation?
Nah, I don't think so. Reincarnation comes from the spirit, the gems come from what's left behind, the shell, the housing unit, the cocoon, the remnants of the mold finally broken open for the spirit to be free.
I think it's a lovely idea.
I'd rather be a gem than a box full of ashes sitting in someone's closet.
I'd rather think of my heirs enjoying the money and appreciating my ashes in the compost tumbler.
I'm a very elemental woman.
mmmm, I won't have heirs, but I'm with Noddy. Of course, thinking of my parents, I might wish they were around for me to look at after they're gone.
Of course, a smart operator with a bag of cubic zirconiums and a very deep hole in their backyard could clean up in this industry. Not saying we should all get in on the action (
Stillwater's House of Cubic Zirconiums), just an observation.....
Has anyone seen my shovel?
You are one hell of a smart man Mr. Stillwater!
Can I still be a Blue Sapphire though if I send you enough dough?
Let's see now...$14,000 per carat...
I wanna be a 5-carat canary diamond. I should be able to afford that. Let's see the relatives forget about me then!!!

Once the check has been cleared and you are legally dead - I can guarantee it!! :wink: In fact you'll be a Blu-Saffire - that's even better (and I can't be sued by your heirs).
You gotta deal! Wait till the family sees how mama comes home when she's dead!

Why didn't you
say so! My close personal friend, Baron Samedi, will revive your rotting corpse as a brain-eating zombie! It's a lifestyle that the rich and powerful are embracing in droves, Oprah is even planning a
Trains'n'Brains Zombi Tour of New Orleans early in 2005! Book early!
Zombies are so last century. Come sign up for my new service: Brains In Jars! Why be a smelly, messy, gobbets-of-flesh dropping undead monster when you can be a blaster-wielding, torso-polishing, never-wear-out cyborg?
P.S. We are fully insured in the event of brain-eating zombies breaking into our pickled brains.
