I have just uploaded Longevity Report 85 which contains articles mainly
gathered from mailing lists and newsgroups.
http://www.geocities.com/longevityrpt

Inasmuch as there are ever themes to issues, this time it seems to be
simulations and sci-fi.

You may have missed some of the following the first time around on the
Internet and find them of interest:

NDE and Morevek Simulations  by George Smith
But, How Can You Know If Your Life is Real?  by  Scott Badger
Book Review: The Mummy Congress   by John Grigg
41st & 42nd Updates on Fly Longevity Experiments   by Doug Skrecky
Superstition is the Reason Why People Reject Cryonics  by  Keith Rene Dugue
The Return of the Krell Machine   by  Steven B. Harris

There has been quite a lot on varied mailing lists about world or universe
simulations recently and the first two articles cover this topic.

The final article occupies almost half the content and as a large public
domain work that discusses the issues raised by the science fiction classic
"Forbidden Planet". There are numerous links to the Amazon pages for the
various other science fiction novels from this article, and interested
people are urged to look at them, even if they have no interest in buying
the books concerned, as there are often some worthwhile reader comments.
Also enthusiastic cryonicists or immortalists who have read these works may
like to add their own Amazon.com review. If a book has not been reviewed on
Amazon.com before, the first reviewer gets a chance to enter into a $50
draw. Try not to let the money change you way of life if you win :-)

I would also like to draw attention to the Longevity Report mailing list for
those who read this via another medium. You can join it from
http://www.geocities.com/longevityrpt/lr.htm . And finally I would like to
remind people that there is now a search engine on the site which is
likewise available from this main contents page.
