Exploring the universe and attempting to understand it is not something I can do in a mortal human lifetime. I see cryonics as a futuristic form of medicine which has ample room for improvement before it becomes fully established. As an open-minded agnostic, I believe we should medically treat individuals to the best of our ability and not judge them based on their religion. These individuals are human beings in need of medical care and they have the right to practice their religion as they see fit as long as they are not bringing harm to others. --00221532cf34cdb18d046612a05b Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31561
