Well, in the 1970's I published a letter in Long Life Mag. saying that cryonics organizations had to consider political issues. The only response to this was a letter opposing the idea - that is, until the Dora Kent case 12 years later. http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/dsp.cgi?msg=66 Now contact with and support for favorable politicians is a routine part of organizational activity. So, let's hope that we don't need a disaster like the Dora Kent case, before people realize that investing in social research is appropriate. dss David Stodolsky Skype: davidstodolsky Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=30047
