X-Message-Number: 3021 Date: Wed, 24 Aug 94 01:22:07 CDT From: 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. --- Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3021
