X-Message-Number: 27704 From: "marta sandberg" <> Subject: Free thought association triggered by SR Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2006 16:01:30 +0800 I enjoyed reading the whole posting. I learnt a few things and I always appreciate a quiet laugh. On a more serious note. When/if we wake up a century or so into the future it is unlikely that our mores will be applicable. As a cryonicsist you have to be prepared that the future will force you to adjust to their moral and social standards. We have been doing this all our lives. Anyone who is more than a quarter of a century old will have had at least one firmly held childhood truth turned on its head. By the time you approach a century almost everything you thought you knew will have changed. We can cope with it as long as it happens one day at the time, but it will be harder when we have to swallow a generations worth of drift in one go on reanimation. On an even more serious note, I have found that it is the though of having to cope with all this change that is stopping a lot of people from wanting the cryonics option.
