X-Message-Number: 21013 From: "George Dvorsky" <> Subject: Can Cryonics Save Your Life? Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2003 13:20:27 -0500 CAN CRYONICS SAVE YOUR LIFE? If you're interested in life extension and cryonics, book off the evening of Wednesday, February 26, 2003 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. The Toronto Transhumanist Association is pleased to sponsor a talk by cryonics expert Ben Best on the topic, "Can Cryonics Save Your Life?" Proponents of cryonics claim that low-temperature preservation of recently deceased persons may allow them to benefit from a future technology that has cured all disease and can rejuvenate people to a condition of everlasting youth. Best will discuss recent technical advances that are making cryonics increasingly feasible. He will also address the controversy surrounding the desirability of cryonics if it proves feasible and discuss existing cryonics organizations. Best is a Director of the Cryonics Society of Canada, a Director of the Cryonics Institute and President of the Institute for Neural Cryobiology. The event will be held in downtown Toronto at the Parliament library, 269 Gerrard Street East. Admission is free, but seating is limited. If you are interested please contact George Dvorsky at to reserve your space. ____________________________________________________ ABOUT THE TORONTO TRANSHUMANIST ASSOCIATION The Toronto Transhumanist Association exists to support Transhumanists in the Greater Toronto Area and to be a powerful, rational, pro-technology force for effecting positive change.
