X-Message-Number: 22616 Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2003 13:21:46 -0000 Subject: Murder Investigation re: 1992 Alcor cryosuspension From: "Randy S" <> Well, the fallout from the Larry Johnson debacle continues. Looks like Johnson recorded some possibly incriminating conversations regarding a 1992 Alcor suspension where the patient was allegedly euthanized. I am referring to Mark Plus's Cryonet post quoting this article: http://www.arizonatribune.com/index.php?sty=10636 Some excerpts from the article: "On another recording, a man Johnson identified as another Alcor executive states he has knowledge of the AIDS patient s death. He said the information would absolutely destroy Alcor if it became public. The executive adds: If it came down to a court issue, you know, who s gonna say anything? Who is going to admit anything? It s deniable. " .. Hixon then states that the former Alcor employee asked an assistant to prepare an injection of Metubine, a paralytic drug. The assistant, Tanya Jones, didn t know what it was for, Hixon states. Later on the recording, Hixon adds: Anyway, so the guy quit breathing. He wasn t very far from quitting breathing, but, uh, we don t like that kind of thing. ... The company executive states that the incident caused Alcor to sever its relationship with the employee who injected the paralytic drug. That s when we decided, Alcor decided, this guy is just too dangerous to have around, he states. " >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (end quote) Well, I doubt it would destroy Alcor, because it happened a decade ago in another state. And it does say that this was why Alcor terminated relations with the "former employee". But I have to wonder whether those standby team members who had knowledge of the alleged euthanization might possibly be subject to criminal charges because they did not report the incident to authorities, not to mention possible charges against the "former employee." But other than that, I do not see how Alcor could be destroyed by this. This cryopreservation is apparently the one covered at length in Cryonet and Cryonics magazine, for example: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=696 http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=697 http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=698 Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22616
