X-Message-Number: 2242 From: Ben Best <> Date: Tue, 11 May 1993 20:00:00 -0400 Subject: canadian CRYONICS events (This is the second time I have sent this message. Canada Remote Systems recently moved to a new building -- and they have lost many messages. I expect that Alcor will be more careful with patients than CRS has been with messages, if a new building is found.)

PRESERVING PERSONAL IDENTITY A lecture at the Toronto "Reality and Meaning" Group Wednesday, May 19, 1993, 18:30 to 21:30 (6:30pm-9:30pm) St. Lawrence Community Recreation Centre Adult Lounge, 2nd Floor 230 The Esplanade, Toronto, Ontario CANADA The Toronto "Reality and Meaning" group is an amateur philosophy club. The content of the lecture, which was given to the club for their promotions, is as summarized below: "Evidence for the materialist view of consciousness (the mind-body problem) will be examined, along with paradoxes that seem inherent in the materialist view. Implications of the promise of immortality by religions will be contrasted with the prospect of immortality through materialism. The prospect of physical immortality through the eradication of aging, cryonics and uploading of minds to computers will be covered in a technical overview. Ethical, psychological and philosophical issues concerned with death and immortal physical life will also be examined." -- Ben Best (ben.best%) -- Canada Remote Systems - Toronto, Ontario 416-629-7000/629-7044 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=2242
