Recent progress in this area by a few groups has provided the first glimmers of hope that the goal which seemed impossible with previously existing technology may indeed become possible. There is a formidable task ahead, however, and unless the rate of progress is greatly accelerated, most of us may not realize the benefits of the ultimate achievement. The magnitude of research needed requires major funding. Unfortunately few amongst us have enough wealth to contribute at this level, but lesser amounts will also help our progress. For those who can spare larger sums, now is the time to come forward. There is no better investment than your life(despite Jack Benny's uncertainty), and when that is gone, your assets won't be of any further enjoyment except to your heirs. Beyond our own group, among the ever increasing numbers of tech billionaires there may be some with mortality concerns similar to ours, who perhaps now can be convinced that our goal is attainable. To identify these and other possible supporters, we need an effective, coordinated fund-raising effort, possibly incorporating the few present entities into an integrated organization with the broad-based participation necessary to do the extensive personal networking essential to any successful fund-raising effort. ------=_NextPart_000_000C_01BFE2D9.2BB18CA0 Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=14020
