X-Message-Number: 23484 From: "Gina Miller" <> References: <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #23474 - #23481 Date: Sat, 21 Feb 2004 22:23:41 -0800 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.

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. http://www.alcor.org/legislativealert.html Thank you, Mathew Sullivan () Cryopreservation Readiness Coordinator Alcor Life Extension Foundation 7895 E.
