X-Message-Number: 3729 Subject: Canadian Cryonics Dinner From: (Ben Best) Date: Mon, 23 Jan 1995 00:17:00 -0500 Once again, our annual winter cryonics/life-extension dinner in Toronto coincided with a snowstorm. Nonetheless, 9 people attended (all male). Although some of the conversation was about uploading and life in outer space, there was a satisfying amount of focus on practical issues concerning health, mechanisms of aging and cryonics. One attendee took the opportunity to have others witness his CryoCare sign-up paperwork and most expressed an interest in eventually signing-up. A serious-minded entrepreneur (who helped start the local newspaper TORONTO COMPUTES) said he would sign-up if there was more evidence that cryopreservation will work. A student in medical school at the University of Toronto had raised cryonics and anti-aging questions in his classes -- and wanted literature to give to interested classmates. Little by little, we progress in this outpost of (cryonics) civilization. -- Ben Best () Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3729
