X-Message-Number: 13122 Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2000 00:51:08 +0900 From: mizuho <> Subject: RE: Why Metamorphosis Society? Hi, This is Mizuho. Thank you for your question, George. Actually, you asked me the question we tend to have most frequently, so let me answer to it. John, I appreciate your kind and favorable comments. We all know well that other existing groups have similar goals to ours. For example, CI has been claiming that, in the future, they will include reanimation to their list of services. Most of cryopreservation service providers know that such service is still far from being available at this moment, but they are hoping to start providing it someday. But the question here is, "Who are going to pay them for the future reanimation services?" There are worries about this uncertainty, and I guess that is why some groups are hoping (almost out of anxiety) Lifepact and other "pacts" to make reanimation a reality. We are trying to attract the people who are actually hoping to "go to the future" AND are presently making their utmost efforts for human beings in the future. Such people easily tend to have a sense of unity, and if that happens, the sense of unity will surely be inherited by our descendents. In this way, we can expect our descendents to reanimate us in the distant future. I feel certain that we will have stronger sense of unity than Lifepact. In short, we are not interested in cryonicists who are NOT willing to work hard for the betterment of human future, because such a stance is incompatible with ours. I hope my explanation was clear enough. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask me more. I created the "How To Join" page on our website, because some people said that they couldn't find the way of joining our group. I appreciate their comments. The following is the URL for this page. http://www/kanon/to/join.htm Please take a look at it anytime. Sincerely, Mizuho Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13122
