I think I'm the fifth person to bring it up as a possibility. I hope he takes the message to heart." Beth's reply: We never know how our well-intentioned comments will affect others. Don's blog seems to have evoked an emotional response in many people. "DABDA" (denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance) is part of the universal experience when confronting our own mortality. Hopefully cryonicists can help create a paradigm shift that will allow others to at least consider the possibility that physical immortality may someday be a reality. Kennita, Good luck with your presentation at FDGD 2007.
