X-Message-Number: 331 From att!Venus.YCC.Yale.Edu!LEVY%GARY Tue May 14 01:10 EST 1991 Date: Tue, 14 May 91 01:10 EST From: LEVY% To: Message-id: <> X-VMS-To: KEVIN Reply to Steve Bridge: Thank you for giving me the perspective of another Alcor member. I still maintain my two fundamental points: (1) Art Quaife implied that Alcor's performing a neuropreservation on Dora Kent was the cause of the media attention. I see this as a "blame the victim" attitude. It's made even worse by the fact that Trans Time will undoubtably profit from Alcor's hard-won court battles. (2) If you (Steve) use a network to promote Alcor, you're inviting people to become members of an organization that is not run for profit. If Art Quaife promotes Trans Time this way, he's advertising for a corporation. Color me ignorant, but I can't believe it's kosher to use a publically-supported medium to sell your wares, be they cryonics or cat food. If we're going to maintain the for-profit/not-for-profit distinction, everyone is going to have to play fair. -- Simon Levy Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=331
