X-Message-Number: 4037 Date: Sat, 18 Mar 1995 12:47:52 -0500 (EST) From: Robin Helweg-Larsen <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #4023 - #4033 Hi folks! Here's a general question: can anyone refer me to prior comments/correspondence about a) Reanimation/reactivation - what kind of concerns should one cover by formal statement in advance of being suspended? (What kind of body and chemistry to wake to, what physiological age preference, gender preference, gender attraction preference if chemistry-based, metabolic preference; what risk factor acceptable for attempted reanimation; to be cossetted and gentled into the new age, or be accepted as a risk-taker and fast learner and given hard facts and truths right away; to be reanimated at the same time as or before or after friends and family, or independently of them; and what else?....) b) What organisational structure will most easily adapt from the current proselyzing and freezing, through megagrowth, maintenance and financial concerns, into reanimation, transhuman option decision-making, and resocialization? We have two basic models: one group does everything (and will therefore evolve the more easily, because it is used to always doing whatever is necessary); or a variety of groups work together in specialized functions (and will therefore evolve the more easily, by generating new specialist groups at need). But where will the new funding come from, in each case? Or does anyone have additional thoughts about any of this? Always optimistically, Robin HL Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4037
