Subject: Again for Melody & others

____________________________________
What's  left after  all the palaver is mostly contradiction and confusion,  
the only clarity being Johnson's deliberately throwing mud for profit.  

I haven't heard the alleged tapes, but would be very surprised if  the 
identities of the speakers were clear and the context not in doubt.  What is 

clear is that Johnson accepts the worst gossip, with the worst  interpretation,
to make money, and Melody goes along. 

"Euthanasia"  could be, and is, argued ad nauseam, but if--I don't buy it, 
but  if--someone at Alcor shortened a patient's life in order to improve his 
 cryopreservation and possibly end his suffering, to call that "murder" is  
just preposterous. In hospice situations, thousands of times a year,  
narcotics are used to trade time for comfort. 

Police detectives  investigated the incident and found nothing worthy of 
pursuit. Johnson saw  dollars worthy of pursuit, and Melody assists him. 

Those nipping  at cryonics always stop after a while. Either they get tired 
of it or they  die.
