X-Message-Number: 14897 From: "ramzy ramzy" <> Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2000 09:37:07 GMT I'm an cryonicist from 1997, but, it the first message. My philosophy: The religion don't and won't prevent critically the war because it supports the idea of the immortality of soul after death. To prevent the war, everyone (not some people) must believe that there is no soul in the body, but this don't occur by direct discussion. This requires an experimental proof (revival of a frozen dead or creation of alive robot). Of course, some people say the connection of souls after death is an experimental reality. By definition of the experiment, it must be available for repeating by any person or group, but the spiritualists think that it is only available for special persons because they have a certain spiritual power. Then, there are no an experimental proof for connection of souls after death. The original linguistic roots of soul and spirit in different languages depend on breath or wind (for example my language : in Arabic). By other meaning, the definition of death is stop of breath. The current medicine avoid the angry religious persons by changing of definition from time to time when the science revival a dead person according to a previous definition. The cryonics sites (which invite religious and non-religious persons for freezing after very short time of clinical death and waiting of success of science in the revival of them) suggest a new definition (theoretical information death in brain). It avoids stop of : breath, biting of heart, and brain, because it depends on quantity of damage. Then, we have three kinds of persons : alive, dead , partially dead (or partially alive). So, the suggested definition is a problem. Any definition of death must depend on stop of something in the body to avoid the problem of three kinds. The deep freezing under 150 degree includes stop of every process refers to the life in the body ( for example : banks of frozen embryos which stop the age (age of embryo is few days) for some years under 196 degree). When the science successes in freezing and revival of frozen adults, this means that the science revival the dead persons. I don't talk about the robots. It is enough. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
