Basie replied: "Where will you go? If Alcor is closed there will no more suspensions anywhere. It is probable time to look at chemical suspensions. If nanobots can fix damage due to freezing they should have no problems with cross linking." My response: First let me say that I do not anticipate recent events will result in the demise of ALCOR, but contingency plans are always a good idea. Second, I'm not sure why you assume that the demise of ALCOR would mean the demise of cryonics. And I'm not familiar enough with chemical suspensions to comment on your final remark. Other comments: Let me take this opportunity to also offer congratulations and best wishes to Ben Best as the new Prez of CI. I also am very impressed with Rick Potvin's letter of apology to Charles Platt. Such humility is rare. I believe Charles should graciously and publicly accept the apology. And then I think a big virtual hug is called for.
