From: _ (mailto:)   :


I first  go by  the maxim "If you fail to plan, you  
plan 
to fail"  "Dr. Schuler's maxim" as far  as plans for the Cryonic  Institute 
to  
make a protocol for reanimation of our  patients.  I   believe that above 
maxim 
has a lot of force and is relevant  to  getting  new membership for CI since 
I 
am asked that question   constantly.   I think CI needs an answer at CI and 
at 
Alcor for  that very   question.  If we say we have and are investing in  
research 
to do so for  a  protocol of reanimation, it  permits CI and Alcor of course 
to  
appear   professional.  If we say we don't have any idea what the  future  
will 
be  like, we are begging the question and not answering   this question to 
anyone's  satisfaction.  For that reason  I  support a limited research for 
an 

eventual reanimation  protocol.   
 
I find this position particularly interesting.
 
Here, in France, cryonics is forbiden (at least if you want be storred  

here). There is no pressure for things going to evolve, that is because cryonics

is seen as a religion contradicting established ones. There is no evidence you
could present in a court to say the contrairy. It would be seen as a 

technology  if it at least was doing some R&D on reanimation or at least was 
able to  
describe the steps going here.
 
Even in the US, cryonics is seen as a cemetery, not a researche  organization 
or a technology. If it was, it could raise large amount of venture  capitals.
 
I have published a set of messages about a brain reader, this technology,  
even in its first steps could be adapted for many uses. It is sad that nobody  
seems interested by practical problems here.
 
Cryonet remains a contemplative group with a strange idea about  death.
