X-Message-Number: 24974 Date: Thu, 4 Nov 2004 07:43:43 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #24971 - #24973 HI everyone! First, a small matter some might consider irrelevant. I now have two subscribers with subscriptions paid for for whom their issues, when I send them, come back to me after a delay. The first was Frank Rothacker, who sent me payment for a loong subscription (5 years) and then moved or left his PO Box address. I've been faithfully accumulating an issue for him ever since this happened. The second is a David Shipman. His subscription was for about a year or two, and he has only a few issues left. If anyone on Cryonet can tell me where to locate either of these guys, not only would I be grateful but I suspect they would be grateful too. The newsletter I'm sending out is PERIASTRON. I've not heard anything about the death or abandonment of cryonics by either of these guys. Second, a small comment about the message from Mark Plus: bioethics for Leon Kass, and for George Bush, involves such things as cloning (shock, horror!!!) and abortion (even more shock and horror!!!!!). So long as they remain occupied with such sins, activities such as cryonics are unlikely to come to their attention. We're just plain too small and (apparently) insignificant for these guys to notice us. And here's another way to look at this: count up the number of cryonicists, and then count up the number of women who have had or want to have an abortion, plus the number of those who perform such abortions. We're still much too small to be noticed, with ideas much too far out to seem consequential. In an odd way, this makes me personally feel fairly safe against their attacks. Best wishes and long long life for all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=24974
