X-Message-Number: 21698 Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2003 09:53:33 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #21693 - #21696 Hi Keith! Basically I think that human behavior isn't genetically fixed. Its inheritance is much more complex than that, though clearly there must be a genetic component. Just because people have behaved as you say in the environment we now live in does not imply that they will continue to do so once immortal (or virtually so). We can both come up with examples to prove our case. As I said in my original message, I think the best thing now is that we not bother to argue the point, but see how people will REALLY behave when the work to abolish aging completely succeeds. Empirical observations beat arguments hands down, every time. Best wishes and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=21698
