Kennita Watson recommends:

"Is anyone planning to go up to the Frozen Dead Guy Days?  I
think they're a *great* idea, and I would pitch in money
towards travel expenses.  I don't think Alcor (ACS, CI) would
have any trouble distinguishing their procedures from those
used to preserve Grandpa Bredo, and we might even get some
good press."

Sorry, Kennita, I disagree. During the floor debate of the
Stump bill one representative said he sees no difference
between Alcor procedures and "the guy in Northern Arizona who
put his wife in a deep freeze" (discovered in Prescott, last
year).

Do-it-yourselfers such as the Prescott individual and Trygve
Bauge (formerly of Colorado) make cryonics seem ridiculous
and encourage hostile legislation. They constitute a threat
to anyone who takes cryonics seriously.

An appropriate response to "Dead Guy Days" would be a press
release condemning the act which started it and emphasizing
the differences between garage-body-freezers and modern
cryopreservation procedures.
