Subject: Bridecicle & William O'Rights


Yeah, there were many things I didn't like about Bridecicle Julian (good 
additional points :-) ), and yes Kennita I also found it humorous ;-)


William O'Rights--your post at ImmInst is inspirational.

Keep on fighting, you are close to beating it!



Anyone that has not yet donated to the Venturist Compassionate Care fund for 
William O'Rights can do so here: http://www.quantium.plus.com/venturist/


Also, Immortality Institute has been running a fund that you can donate to help 
with William's costs for treating his cancer: 
http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=24004


You can see that recently 600 dollars from that fund went to purchase 
supplements for William from Life Extension Foundation :-).  If you donate to 
it, please put in the notes if you want your donation to be used for 
supplements.  So far there has been success with William's arsenal of 
supplements against his cancer :-), we all hope that it continues. 

Thank You, Shannon Vyff

 Thank you for posting this story, I did not like the
dystopian views--the gross depiction of desperation
and the odd hitching of minds. I did like the
women's love story, that was poignant.  
 
 I'm surprised that you didn't take offense at the
 implied status of women in that society. Did the
 cryonics facility also have a room full of
 "groomsicles" for women to choose from?
 
And why would women sign up for cryonics if they could
only be fully resuscitated by agreeing to become some
rich creepy guy's concubine?
 
 Besides, that society clearly lacked the means to stop
 the aging process, which from cryonicists' perspective
 makes the whole exercise a bit pointless.

 I hadn't seen it.  Is it OK that I thought it
was funny?

 I think many cancer patients are harmed by gloomy
 prognoses. IaC ve seen people who were told they had about

six months to live, and you know, in 6 months, they died! It> isnaC t good to 
blindly accept the doctoraC s prognosis,
 people who do that frame their life around the time they
 expect to die. After all, just because doctors predict
 something doesnaC t make it so. Yet some cancer patients can
 take a prognosis and turn it into a self-fulfilling
 prophecy.
