From Freezing a Mother-in-Law; or, Suspended Animation: A farce in one act by T. Edgar (Thomas Edgar) Pemberton

Walter, you're a sharp fellow. You've hit the right nail on the head. That is the difficulty. It is really astounding how blind and how selfish people are in advancing the interests of science. In the States they can't get a soul to try it, and they've got to wait for the first felon. (MR. W: The first felon?) Yes. First man condemned to death, you know. Then they'll give him his choice--suspend his animation either by rope or patent freezing mixture. If he recovers from the latter, give him his life and liberty. (WALTER: Then you admit that there is a certain amount of risk attached to the experiment?) I admit nothing of the sort. There isn't the least risk.
