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.

  Benford's plan relate to the BioArchive Project announced by
  Chris Peterson of the Foresight Institute several years ago?
