Subject: Cryonics Quackwatch -- another "warning label"
Date: Mon, 9 May 2005 11:06:09 +0100

I wonder whether the answer may be for Alcor and CI to jointly register
"Cryonic" and "Cryonics" as trademarks and whether this could be used to
warn off or even take action against people persistently using these words
to promote other goods, services, or donation based systems that may be
misrepresentations of the trademark owners. Or maybe it is too late as these
words have passed into general usage.

 I have held my tongue. I believe that Jon is dangerously naive
 and has the potential to create a financial, legal and media disaster
 that could be nearly as harmful to cryonics as the Ted Williams affair.

 they come -- probably the way cryonicists appears to many people. <
