I have read the letter with great interest being myself an Eastern European 
living in the US.

And I want to ask you Europeans - what the hell is wrong with you?

 


America is an unbelievably religious country (had I known this before I came to 
the US, I definitely would have thought twice about coming). Yet, there are at 
least two active cryonics organizations that store people.

 


Now, over there in the European Union with a lot larger population, secular 
politics and no religious fanatics you have none.

 


How do you explain that? Isn t it time for you Europeans to get together, 
organize a cryonics facility, put pressure on your government to invest in 
cryonics and life extension research in general, since almost none of you 
believes in the afterlife anyway.

 


Europe, in my opinion, is a lot more fertile territory for cryonics and radical 
life extension than America is, yet so little is happening there.

 


By the way, religion or no religion, there is nothing wrong with the death 
penalty. Didn t you have recently a big-time pedophile over in Belgium that 
deserves 10 death penalties?

 


The only thing I would do different - I would use death-row people in cryonic 
and other dangerous medical experiments and let them repay their debt to 
society.

 

Time for you Europeans to get up and start doing something.
