X-Message-Number: 1908 Date: 06 Mar 93 13:43:50 EST From: Charles Platt <> Subject: CRYONICS Rainforest Plan To: Cryonet March 6, 1993 Some people may be aware of the plan proposed last year by Gregory Benford to freeze species which face extinction, especially in tropical rainforests where slash-and-burn is in progress. With Benford's permission, I am posting the complete text of his paper (about 24 kilobytes). There is reason to hope that this very reasonable proposal by an accredited scientist will encourage a slightly more receptive attitude toward cryonics. --Charles Platt ------------------------------------------------------------- [ You can retrieve Benford's entire paper by sending email to me with the Subject line "CRYOMSG 0023". By the way, how does Benford's plan relate to the BioArchive Project announced by Chris Peterson of the Foresight Institute several years ago? (Message #40, from Nov. 21, 1988, briefly describes the BioArchive Project.) - KQB ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1908
