Subject: "Doctors choose cryonics."

Rick Praline has asked for more about "Doctors choose cryonics, nine to one."

As I have said in the past, my information indicates that physicians are 
about nine times as likely to belong to a cryonics organization as one would 
expect on a population-proportionate basis. This is based on my knowledge of 
CI members and on publicly known names in other organizations. 

I can't prove it, of course, without disclosing names of CI members, which 
are confidential. On the other hand, there doubtless are physicians unknown 
to me in the other organizations, so my estimate is probably conservative.

The 9/1 refers to actual members only. If we count physicians who have shown 
interest or cooperated in various ways, of course the number is larger.
