X-Message-Number: 19213 From: Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2002 09:48:14 EDT Subject: questions --part1_a6.27250e5d.2a30c21e_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Peter Tindale asked: 1. Has anyone done an unbiased, comprehensive comparison of Alcor and CI? 2. How could relations between the two be improved? 3. Why don't either offer in house life insurance? ---------------- 1. Many have, if you are talking about prospective members comparing web sites; fewer if you include visiting facilities. 2. There is a "CryoSummit" scheduled for Michigan in August, including CI, Alcor, and ACS, and preliminary proposals have been made. 3. Only life insurance companies can legally offer life insurance, and no cryonics organization can presently qualify as a life insurance company.
