X-Message-Number: 30868 Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:19:23 -0700 (PDT) From: david pizer <> Subject: URGENT SITUATION NOTICE OF URGENT SITUATION I am writing you to ask for your help for a member of the cryonics community, William OaC Rights. William has been involved in the cryonics movement for almost 20 years and has written extensively about cryonics subjects which you can find on the website of The Immortality Institute. William has been diagnosed with extensive small cell lung cancer that has now spread to his left leg bone and right arm, his spine and lymph nodes. His doctor says he is currently undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment but small cell lung cancer carries a mean prognosis of approximately 6 to 8 months life expectancy. Some of the things William has helped the cryonics movement with are efforts to stop the Arizona legislation against Alcor several years ago. William was not able to get his suspension funded at CI before he came down with this terrible illness and now with time running out, he needs our help if he is to get a cryonics suspension. The Society for Venturism is a 501c3 approved nonprofit organization that has helped raise money for cryoncists in the past for their suspension costs. We are now starting a fund raising campaign to raise money to pay for WilliamaC s suspension. The amount of money needed will be $28,000 to pay CIaC s costs and $2,000 for mortician and transport fees, for a total of $30,000. I am hoping you will want to help and you will send us a tax deductible check to help with this project. If you want to help please make your check out to aC The Society for VenturismaC and mail it to us at 11255 State Route 69, Mayer Arizona, 86333. I will deposit all contributions in the Venturist account to be used to pay expenses when the suspension takes place. If the suspension does not get done for any reason, all contributions will be returned. I will keep the community up to date on how the campaign is going along the way. William is a Libertarian. If he is revived from suspension in the future here is what he hopes for: aC My hope for the future is that somewhere in our universe there will exists a civilization whose inhabitants will possess sole dominion over their own lives, where every individual will have the ability to recognize and the courage to acknowledge reality, and where governments as we know them do not exist.aC This is your chance to do something meaningful in the cryonics community, to help one of our own who is in trouble. Best regards to all, David Pizer, President, The Society for Venturism Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=30868
