Subject: Mr. Snikars' desk

        While everybody else is divulging the letters they have 
written to Mr. Snikars, I thought I'd just mention that he has heard 
from me as well.  On Monday I faxed him a two page letter on very 
impressive looking National Research Council (Federal Government of 
Canada) letterhead, essentially saying that Section 57 appears to have 
been drafted in the absence of any scientific consultation.  I also 
pointed out to him that the law would not withstand constitutional 
challenge in Canada, because for some it would violate freedom of 
religion as guaranteed by the Charter of Rights.  I ended with a 
reproduction of Ettinger's excellent open letter to the BC government 
as it appeared in the Immortalist recently, in case Snikars had not 
seen it.     
 
        Thanks to Ben Best for reminding us about this important piece 
of business, and thanks everybody for writing.  If CryoNet and my 
personal email are any guide, Snikars must be buried in paper by now!  
I hope something comes of it.
