From: Rudi Hoffman CFP, I wanted to comment on the FORBES article mentioned in Steve Bridges post. I was called by the Forbes writer, to comment about the use of insurance to fund cryonic suspension. Since this is a topic I think night and day about, needless to say, I was about to "jump out of my skin" with excitement! Jesus! Forbes goes to some of the most influential and wealthy people on the planet. This could be huge! My rational and skeptical side was cautioning me, and reminding me of many other "free publicity" situations that have not turned out to be particularly great for ALCOR and cryonics...but I am a positive kind of guy...and, besides, I take a lot of vitamins, herbs, St. John's Wort, and tapes to keep my neurochemistry bright...and maybe we are gonna break it loose like Dolly the sheep did for cloning... I have yet to see the article, altho I spoke with someone today who said it was somewhat disappointing. So, even if it is bad...and...from a more personal point of view, if this son of a buck writer did not use any of the great verbage I gave him and did not wind up the article with ..."and call Rudi Hoffman to fund your cryonic suspension at 1-800-749-3773..." The stars will stay in their courses. But a bunch of great brains are going to be lost that perhaps do not have to become mud... Boundless Life to All.
