Response to: #23477: Attention Alcor Members of Arizona, help us stop the Stump 
Bill Posted by Mathew Sullivan



This is a very, very important issue. If this bill is passed it will mean that 
the powers that be, will have the authrority to regulate and refuse the renewal 
of license(s) to continue services. The same requirements that apply to a 
funeral establishment will also be required of Cryonic suspension facilities. As
you know, the discrepencies in procedures are substatially different between 
the two, thus it is easy to foresee that the understanding of terms will 
generate a divide in the future and with this bill standing, there will be no 
way for us to defend against any actions that may be taken in response to these 
variables. This legislation could threaten our rights to be suspended and the 
rights of those that already are in suspension. Since the hearing will be held 
on the 26th we need to act now. Please see the Alcor Legislative Alert webpage 
for contact info that is on the top of this message. My husband will be flying 
down to speak at the hearing. I on the otherhand need to stay home with the dog,
but I am sending a written letter with him and will be sending it via the email
links listed on the webpage as well. If you are signed up, are interested in, 
or just wish to protect the option of cryonic suspension, please help, appear in
person or send letters to the email addresses listed on the Alcor link. As many
voices as possible are needed. Thank you, Gina Miller

  If you are a member of Alcor and live in Arizona, please see the link
  below for instruction on how you can help stop the Stump bill.  If the
  Stump bill passes, Alcor will fall under the jurisdiction of the Funeral
  Board.  The  Director of the Funeral Board was quoted in the New York
  Times on  11/14/2003: "These companies need to be regulated or deregulated
  out of  business."  The passage of the Stump bill will ultimately affect
  your right to choose, so please help us stop this bill.
