Subject: Urgent Situation

Hello all,


I wanted to add some info about William O'Rights that I learned after becoming 
involved in leadership at Immortality Institute.  He has, in addition to his 
extensive research into legal cases that can help protect cryonics now, been a 
supporter of life extension for many years--not just a verbal supporter, but has
helped from very big pockets.  I have been impressed by his high ethical 
standards, and views of liberty, he is a clear defender of free speech and 
personal freedom. 


William has started a thread at ImmInst talking about his efforts at fighting 
this cancer with supplements, he is highly intelligent and if he wins this fight
for his life, then any money donated to the Venturists fund for him of course 
would be available for you to get back (or transfer to Marce's fund if you 
chose). 


I will be donating to his case, I hope that others will be able to fit a 
donation into their budget. It is the least we can do to help those who have 
been long time supporters and members of our community, and have fallen on hard 
times.  I'd love to see our community create a safety net, to help some of our 
valued members.

You can send a check to:

The Society for Venturism "William O'Rights Fund", 11255 State Route 69,  Mayer 
Arizona, 86333 


But I'm sure they'll be posting more information, and you can talk to William if
you want at ImmInst, he is posting there daily lately.  If you are interested 
in seeing research he has done they are in our archives.


With all the emails we get, all the commitments we have vieing for our time, I 
hope you will add sending a check to you to-do list ;-).

Take care,
Shannon Vyff (ImmInst Chair, Alcor member)
