X-Message-Number: 23029 From: Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2003 09:34:14 EST Subject: rich people Christine Gaspar's #23022 refers to "Robert Ettinger's" comments about Alan Mole's suggestions concerning soliciting the rich. I made no such comment--someone else referred to some of my earlier experiences. Ms. Gaspar is correct, and I have frequently acknowledged, that changed conditions or new blood or better methods could bring success where there was previous failure. However, as far as I can see, rich people are somewhat less likely than others to buy cryonics, despite being better able to afford it, and the reasons are pretty obvious. It therefore seems to me that we will be better served just by continuing to try to make our case to everyone. Needless to say, those who want to aim at particular individuals are free to do so.
