If you could bring back one person...
Here's something Donna and I were discussing on our drive back from San Diego.
If you could bring back to life one person from the past, who would it be?
Caveats:
- No family members or people you personally knew.
- The person would come back at approximately the same age they died at, but any dehabilitating conditions would be alleviated; for example, if the person died of cancer, or had Alzheimers, they wouldn't have it when brought back.
- The person will have approximately 5 years of additional life.
The ones we thought were strong contenders: Marcus Aurelius (founder of Stoicism), Einstein, Mozart, Socrates, Ben Franklin, DaVinci.

no subject
Mozart, definitely!
Byron, Keats, and Shelley are good contenders. Especially Keats.
Pliny the Elder (damn that little volcanic eruption...)
