Ted Williams story.  Any of the so called ethicists, theologians,
men or women of the clergy, who have been interviewed
continually referred to the practice of Cryonics as a selfish
immoral act. ..."  Unquote.

I submit, that you would encounter various degrees of anti-
cryonics bias in almost any segment of population outside of
cryonics, even in the biomedical professions.  So do you propose
to take on the rest of the world?  Fact is, that *some* members
of the clergy have been positive toward cryonics, just as members
of other occupational groups.

Ivan, you are denying half the people on this list the right to
be nano-repaired, including myself I suspect, although you did
not mention engineers on your list of undesirables.  Like it or
not, if it works, we will all be there.

If life is a smorgasbord, then consider me an unabashed glutton.
