To Thomas Donaldson
Thank You for your responces. Please let me make myself clear that I did
not wish to sound as if I believed my suspension would be done badly, just
that no matter how state of the art our technics are today, that people in
the future will view our knowledge as antiquated or even barbaric in
compairison to their modern advancements. Somewhat like you might view 18th
century dentistry today. I also was pointing out that we (todays science)
may not have discovered all the essential processes that should be
preformed prior to suspension that are necessary to guarantee optimal
reviv. in the future. You are so confident that everything will be
repairable in the future. I can bake a cake with the wrong ingredients,
then after it comes out of the oven, try to repair it. To some extent this
can be done, but not to the point that would have been achived had I begun
the process properly. Some things might never be repaired! I believe the
current process might just have room for improvement (discoveries which
might not come about before some of us are put into suspension) and
therefore cause permanent loses like memory for example. I'm just admitting
that I'm afraid.

A note to Ettinger: 

I was very inspired by your #11117 post, to alter my current research to
include the bombardment of croutons in a tupperware chamber to release
their stored energy. So far I have found that when attached to a metal hook
on a nylon line and suspended in certain types of natually occurring
collections of Hydrogen/oxygen solutions, they attract trout! I then bring
these trout home and subect them to a crude form of temporary cryonic
suspension. Although I have yet to discover how this will eventually solve
mans problems, I find myself exceedingly willing to conduct the research!

During my web travels I came across these sites and thought some of you
might find them of interest:
http:/biomed.nus.sg/nanotech
http://irdu.nus.sg/nanotech
http://adenine.krdl.org.sg:8080/projects.html    (this one especially)
I thought this one was worth a look at and figured you could appreciate the
application of their research to the further the development of cryonic
revivification technics. (I could be wrong)

Please let me appologize for my horrid spelling and punctuation. Every
other program I use has spell check and I have come to rely on it heavily.
I type very poorly and these after work leisure time activities (writing
e-mail responces for the day etc.) usually occur around 2:30 AM, before I
call it a day. Thank You for your indulgence.

Further more, in deference to George Smith's suggestion to disclose whether
someone has their suspension in place or not, I admit I have not arranged
mine yet. In fact, I'm not sure I will be able to. Unlike most of you who
hope to live to a ripe old age before needing your suspension plans to go
into effect, I am interested in crogenic suspension because I have recently
discovered I might have a medical condition that might vastly shorten my
life span. I might not have as long as I'd like to make my decision. The
doctors aren't sure yet what my current stage is and so are still reluctant
to discuss the projected date of my demise. I do not have insurance (and
now couldn't get any if I tried!) and do not currently have the means to
come up with the suspension costs.
None the less, I work well in a crunch, and expect I will come up with
something. (Economy Plan: a bottle of bourbon and a frigidare freezer)
While you all argue about the definitions of "self" and other lofty vauge
concepts, I worry about the here and now more so, that if I re-invent
myself every 1/20th of a second. I'm pressed with the thought that it all
might not matter very soon!
