X-Message-Number: 24049 From: Date: Wed, 5 May 2004 12:02:26 EDT Subject: Condolences, cryonics suggestion Hello, Ms. Walford, My sincerest condolences on the loss of your father. For many of us in the life extension scientific community, he was a source of inspiration and hope. I truly do not mean to be inappropriate as to timing of this email, and I know that this is a very busy and stressful time for you. I happen to be involved in helping people structure the financial and legal arrangements to assure proper cryonic suspension. This is of course best handled far in advance of actual need, with all paperwork completed earlier rather than later, and solid funding arranged, which is normally handled with life insurance. Your father was a very well known and respected member of the scientific life extension community. It would have been a benefit to him, and certainly the scientific community, if he would have made his wishes to be Cryonically suspended known, and made earlier arrangements for this to have this happened. I was involved in the financial arrangements/life insurance portion of an about 80% of the people who signed up for cryonic suspension in the world last year. I have been personally signed up for cryonic suspension with ALCOR, and am involved ideologically in the cryonics community, as well as the scientific life extension movement. May I respectfully suggest we develop an email dialogue regarding your recent public email statement? You may check out my credentials at my website, rudihoffman.com. I look forward to your response, even if it needs to be brief at this time. Thank you for your consideration, and once again, my condolences on your father. Respectfully and Sincerely, Rudi Hoffman CFP CLU Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24049
