X-Message-Number: 6178 Newsgroups: sci.cryonics From: (hEpCaT) Subject: Re: Timothy Leary Renounces Cryonics Message-ID: <> References: <> <4mum53$> Date: Fri, 10 May 1996 18:06:10 GMT The various posts today regarding Timothy Leary show that perceptions can be a strong influence on reality. I've read that whole hatchet piece in the LA Times, and it does put paid to the whole matter (even though the bias is obvious even to people who've never heard of cryonics). One last thought: on the day that cryonics can offer a guarantee of success, I'll agree with Steve Harris on the necessity of integrating procedure with medical care. Even now it's an option I'd probably take for myself, but it's not a requirement that a cryonics organization should make as a condition of service. No, cryonics ain't fun for the people doing it, but once in a while the patient may have other ideas. As with most controversies, the final result speaks for itself.
