Space may offer a solution to a problem faced uniquely by cryonicists. As the Ted Williams (and the earlier Dora Kent) case shows, a cryonics patient in suspension is not necessarily safe from interference by others. Storage in space could prove a solution to the "peasants with pitchforks" problem, in which people opposed to the procedure, and acting perhaps out of ignorance, become active in their opposition. A suspension repository in orbit or on the lunar surface could be designed to be passively cooled, eliminating the requirements of power for refrigeration, or the topping up of liquid nitrogen, reducing the chances of thawing due to natural disasters or business problems. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,58071,00.html Also http://www.totse.com/en/fringe/life_extension/simberg.html Sincerely, IGGY Dybal Your Real Estate Consultant - Kansas City - RE/MAX Best E-mail: mailto: Web site: http://www.iggy.net Office: 913-894-4024 Toll-free: 877-550-IGGY/4449 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19571
