I'll confess that the one cryonics gathering I've attended did change my view of who we are. Not for the worse, but I was struck by how eccentric everyone is - it made me feel quite sensible. Not a feeling I'm used to. Cryonicists in person remind me most of the Addamses. I think that's a good thing. Addamses aren't pretty, well behaved, level headed, or reasonable people. But they're gentle, enthusiastic, compassionate and manic. I'm not certain I entirely fit in. Still I'd rather be Addams than not. Wouldn't you? Peter Merel.
