Just a few notes: you mention both cryonics and extropians in the first paragraph. Does you bishop understand what you mena with these terms? You also use the term "eternal life". Wouldn't that be misinterpreted in this religious context? Wouldn't "life extension" or "increased lifespan" make more sense with less risk of misunderstanding? The note about the UU church was a nice touch - that introduces a bit of eccleastical competition. Overall the apporach of suggesting that the LDS could take a good stance seems to work fine, but you might want to re-word the section about terrorism - that is bound to cause antagonism towards your case. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16270
