That's just the kind of thing I was saying, though put in a different and perhaps more illuminating form. We cannot calculate probabilities unless we know all the possible outcomes, which for cryonics we simply don't ... even if cryonics becomes popular enough before government steps in that the kind of regulations you describe become politically impossible. Why discuss this issue? Because it is a mistaken viewpoint which takes away energy from actually trying to increase our probability of success. And of course your own message is one more case of just that. Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19914
