X-Message-Number: 23798 From: "Omnedon" <> Subject: Funeral Board and Bureaucracy Date: Sat, 3 Apr 2004 00:34:13 -0600 Although I have been on the Cryonet list for several years, I may have missed the answer to these questions. So if these are redundant, feel free to email me privately: * How are the members of the AZ Funeral Board selected? Are cryonicists eligible? If not, could present Funeral Board members be co-opted/educated to advantage? * Is there some way to install an oversight committee of cryonics specialists within this organization? Surely such a 'solution' would appeal to some bureaucrats. In this way, they can feel happy that they have regulated yet another activity (as if it were needed), and cryonics could be relatively protected. Funding could be provided by relevant cryonics facilities, instead of AZ taxpayers. Or perhaps the committee would consist of non-paid members. I am not (yet) an Alcor member, and I do not live in AZ. However, what happens to Alcor, I believe, is likely to have an effect beyond Arizona. Bureaucrats love precedent. www.BladesOfLegend.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23798
