Subject: Re: O'Rights fund seems stalled- can you help?


Anyone on the cusp of being able to cover more of the cost, and able to so do 
so-can be assured that they can get their money back if the preservation does 
not now occur (or in the future if cryonics did work and William paid them back)
or they can designate the money to go to Marce's case, or an area of cryonics 
research of their choice. 


One return on the investment, now however is the social return--the respect one 
gains from the rest in our cryonics community. 


It is heart wrenching to talk with William on the phone and to hear how degraded
he is, and to see how much effort he puts into communicating on the Internet 
with the community he once was such an active supporter of. 


I do hope someone will be able to donate more. I would cover the full costs if I
could, and hope to someday be in a position to do so for deserving cryonicists 
who need help--currently I'm young, and have three children, our family though 
is working on building our assets for when we are older.

Thank you, Shannon Vyff

     #30946: O'Rights fund seems stalled - can you help?

 
 The unselfish actions of many cryoncists have helped the
 O'Rights fund get close to $8,000, but now the effort
 seems stalled.  If the cryonics community is to help this
 person get a cryonics chance at overcoming death we need
 something to get the momentum going again????
 
 As most of you know by now, Mr. O'Rights is suffering
 from a painful, horrible form of cancer and his doctors have
 said he cannot live much longer.  He keeps fighting and
 doing all he can to survive.  He very much would like to
 have a cryonics suspension and has been a believer in
 cryonics for many years.
 
 We have talked about William's mistakes in not getting
 his suspension paid for when he was in better health an
 when he had the money to buy life insurance.  He does not
 deny the fact that although he has been around cryonics a
 long time he has made some mistakes.  He even wants others
 to learn from his mistakes and has pointed out how important
 it is for anyone who believes in the potential of cryonics
 to get signed up as soon as possible.
 
 We need to raise more money, and we need more ideas to help
to motivate the rest of our community to contribute.  If

 anyone has more ideas now is the time to send them in top this forum as time 
 may be running out?  I urge anyone
 interested in this project to post your thoughts here on
 Cryonet as soon as possible.
 
All contributions, suggestions and other ideas are welcome.
