Warren,

Surely you must realize that the posts on this forum are not representative
of all cryonicists?  I don't care about Badger data any more than you do.
There are scientists working on the problems, but they simply don't post on
this forum.  This is not the place for it.  Forums tend to be for people to
like to hear themselves talk.  If you browse through the posts from about 10
years ago, you will see an entirely different group of people and a
different tone.  Regardless of the tone on this group, the science behind
cryonics remains the same.  One person made the comment about a lousy parent
and you seriously think that any of us agree with him?  Why would you think
we agree with him?

Enough experiments have already been done to demonstrate that cryonics will
be nearly 100% successful if the best protocols are followed.  The scanning
electron micrographs show outstanding preservation of the shapes of the
neurons.  So I don't know how you could look at those micrographs and come
to the conclusion that it only has a one in a million chance of working.  It
already IS working.  Phase one is successful.

If we don't work hard on it, we will die.  It seems quite reasonable to
expend some effort on it.  That doesn't make it an obsession.  There is no
plan B for survival.  That's the whole point.
