Someone I trust told me that Charles Platt made a pact with Timothy Leary to cut off Leary's head at his death, so Platt could put said head quickly in a portable icebox & get it to a lab where to be preserved till it can be revived & attached to a new body, in the future. This is a whole thing some people believe in. But it was taking Leary a long time to die so Platt started complaining & endlessly talking & Leary said, "You know what, I'm out. Just leave the house. I'll be cremated!"

@JohnShirley2023 This subject always makes me think of Lindsay Anderson's "Britannia Hospital", and Malcolm McDowall's fate in it.
