Hi everyone!

Unless he's changed a lot, Doug Skrecky still has no cryonics arrangements.
This is even more important than Mike Perry thinks. Mike rightly points
out that it puts Doug's life in more danger ... just how much more can
be endlessly argued, but that it IS more seems clear. And if one of us
reads one day that someone named Doug Skrecky was killed in a car accident,
and we note his absence from Cryonet, we'll be able to do no more than
mourn him.

But people who want to prolong their lives but will not consider cryonics
do something to others, too. I remember how easy it was for my grandparents
to believe that something will be done in time. What we really want is
deathlessness, but if we simply press for the future nothing will really
happen. And they will make such a position more popular by taking it.

			Best wishes and long long life for all, 

				Thomas Donaldson
