I am calling on the few women in cryonics, even though they too are mostly scientists or logic- professionals, they are also nurturers and intuitive as well. Most of all I am calling on Deathist Lurker Girl , Who is not a cryonicist, but an interested observer, to tell us, what would bring her closer to embracing the joy of extended healthy _youthful_ life ? <<<<<< May I suggest: http://www.geocities.com/novelation/thoughts.htm for a series of articles written by my wife (who writes under the name of Chrissie Loveday). These were written as she was becoming aware of cryonics and may help provide the viewpoint that you seek. "Deathist Lurker Girl" "Shiva" (found on sci.cryonics) and possibly "Jeff Grimes" are (in the case of the fist two) and, possibly could be, "characters" authored by someone else like characters in a book, in order to debate ideas about cryonics. Even a virulently pro-cryonics person could create people with questioning opinions in his own mind simply to explore how other people react. Charles Platt has sometimes been mentioned as a possibility for being their author, but it could well be someone none of us know. And, before anyone asks, Chrissie has nothing to do with it!
