X-Message-Number: 28457 From: Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 03:54:54 EDT Subject: Re: CryoNet #28445 Revived thread on cryonet 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. Yvan Bozzonetti.
