While my name was the only one in the program guide, I realized near the end that I'd need help. On the panel with me appeared Ben Best, Keith Lynch, and Will Wiser. All three are more knowledgeable than I am, and I felt very grateful that they were there to handle questions about the state of the art and other matters of fact. I also feel grateful to Alcor for sending me literature to hand out, and to David Pizer for sending me copies of his new book "Ralph's Journey". I titled the panel "Cryonics: Fiction vs. Fact" to fit better with the science fiction theme, and was gratified to find that the attendees weren't interested in the fiction. I had fun, too! I definitely recommend trying to get cryonics panels on the schedule at future conventions!
