X-Message-Number: 24843 From: (John Krug) Date: Sun, 17 Oct 2004 10:18:05 -0700 Subject: #24834 Exploring Options... Hi: Submitted for your consideration, Mr. Perry discussed lower cost options as alternatives to cryonics. A little while ago on cryonet. I referred to an article on hibernation for astronauts taking long term space trips. Access to the text of same can be done by typing the following question into a search engine: "Could astronauts sleep their way to the stars?" If successful, I think medical applications of this technique should be fairly obvious. Imho, most thinking people would have no trouble grasping the concept.... I like the benign nature and the lack of "yuck" factor of the idea. I also think this would be appropriate as something to be done before the "last resort" of cryonics is required.... I don't object. Best Regards! John B. Krug Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24843
