Probably all who give their opinions regard
their opinions as more correct than those of
those who disagree.But you were putting forth

universality of this position among
cryonicists.

One of your recent messages said 1978 or so,

Both of my parents have recently been
treated successfully for cancer(one skin,
one prostate).

Mortality is a monumental nuisance,
but cancer cells are immortal in their
own way...can we possibly turn their
endurance into something healthy cells
can emulate?
