Subject: missing paragraphs

For some reason paragraphs were missing from my posts yesterday.

Steve Harris had written:

And I had answered, although it didn't appear:

This is grossly misleading. There is nothing leisurely about the response of 
our funeral directors. And the choice is not between a full premortem standby 
team on the one hand, and "discovered in the morning." One of the alternatives 
is the hospice, home setting or hospital setting. In any case, there is no 
need for long delays, if someone is willing to make reasonable preparations. 

Also missing was the following:

Steve concludes by saying it's best not to deny the costs of cryonics. That 
is inverting the problem. It's a bit like saying, "Sure, smoking is bad for 
you, but quitting is hard and stressful, so we should focus on the stress and 
difficulty of quitting." I don't think so.
