Won't the HIV+ suspension team member be vulnerable to catching a wide variety of opportunistic infections that the recently legally dead person probably has? I don't know how much of a concern this should be in practice. >Given a reasonable marketing effort within the HIV+ community, I >predict that one could find a vast amount of medical experience which >could be invaluable to cryonics-- along with a community of motivated >people who haven't had 60+ years to get too accustomed to the idea of >aging and dying. Does anyone have a feel for whether this would make us be perceived as vultures, and whether being perceived that way would be a problem? These aren't rhetorical questions; I'm asking because I have concerns, but I don't have enough knowledge to say whether the concerns should be taken seriously. Tim Freeman <> When they took the fourth amendment, I was silent because I don't deal drugs. When they took the sixth amendment, I kept quiet because I know I'm innocent. When they took the second amendment, I said nothing because I don't own a gun. Now they've come for the first amendment, and I can't say anything at all.
