Subject: Alcor Forum #2

The second issue of Alcor Forum is finally on its way to be printed (about
three weeks late), but anyone who wants to download a copy in pdf format
will find it at:

www.charlesplatt.com/alcor/

This second issue of the newsletter is a 1.4 MB download, larger than the
first issue mainly because it contains two high-res photographs which may
have a sobering effect on anyone who feels that fracturing isn't a
significant problem.

The newsletter contents list:

"Potential Problems Associated with In-Field Cephalic Isolation" by Mike Darwin
"Problems and Promise of Higher Temperature Storage" by Brian Wowk
"Security at Alcor" (description of the new ADT system)
"Alcor Advertises in Movie Theaters" (in conjunction with Vanilla Sky)
"When Members Become Ex-Members" (Alcor policy update)
"British News" (including the strange case of the hijacked Alcor UK web page)
"Significant Enhancement of CryoNet Archives" (new search feature)
"The Story of Cells4Life" (how the company grew out of BioTransport)
"November Board Meeting"
"Emergencies and Alerts" (three alerts in the past few weeks)

"Should we Preserve the Body Too?" by David Shipman (reprinted from CryoNet with
permission of the author)

An ink-on-paper version of the newsletter will be mailed to Alcor members
later this month.
