Hi Ralph!

I've heard that line of argument from you before, so it isn't new to me, but
this instance I thought was very well done.

How long has this thing been going on with Gordon Banks? It would be nice to
UNDERSTAND the irrational opposition, rather than just have answers for it
(which would of course not affect the opponent at all but might have some
effect on the audience). I have no good ideas about how to do that: even
speaking to an opponent separately, without anyone else hearing the conver-
sation, the whole issue of cryonics becomes too threatening to them. If you
have serious suggestions I'd like to hear them. (As you know, many of us have 
relatives who show exactly that irrational opposition, and many of us would 
like very much to have arguments which might actually work --- ON the 
opponent, not on any 3rd parties who may be watching).

			Best
				Thomas
