I'm sure that many over here have given a thought to this line of reasoning for 
survival of cryonics/cryonicists. It's a near gaurantee for long term positive 
results. This is it:
Cryonicists should have more children.

As with ALL traits of living organisms i.e physical/behavioural/intelligent etc.
the offsprign are most likely to follow the pattern of parents.


Ofcourse having children can be a tough individual decision - that is a huge 
topic in itself.

interesting, but so what? I don't think the lesson is that we should look for
ways to introduce realism using the techniques of illusion, except perhaps to

Just possibly one way of improving effectiveness in recruiting might be a
conscious switch from "selling" to "educating." So, are professional

many failed fads in education, one may be doubtful. But we are in fact engaged

in a campaign of education, and it is not hopeless, as we have seen. Just very
hard.

Ronald Havelock, with a doctorate in psychology, has told us that he doesn't
know the answers, and doesn't know anyone who does. But we need to look at
it quantitatively. If the question is how to make cryonics universal next
