X-Message-Number: 32053 From: "Nick Pavlica" <> Subject: Independent Body to represent Cryonics Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 10:57:39 -0400 In response to David Stodolsky's post today, (Sunday): "An independent body that could speak for the Industry is essential in this type of situation. A representative from ALCOR will be seen to be as partial to that organization and thus anything they say will be discounted as biased. On the other hand, a person representing the Industry as a whole, while being seen as partial to cryonics, could be seen as impartial when it comes to defense of a particular organization. That person could even thank opponents for criticism and suggest that a revision of accreditation procedures should be undertaken to ensure the current problem would not reoccur, etc." Hello!? It's called the Cryonics Society, (CryonicsSociety.org). But as David also stated "Some years ago, I put up a web site for what could have become a cryonics self-regulation and accreditation organization. That received no support whatsoever." Ditto - virtually no support to CS either. So we wish we had it. We do. But we don't want to finance it. Guess we don't want it that much. np Content-Type: text/html; [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=32053
