Why should the technology needed to save our lives depend on some investment gambit? As I've pointed out, the income needed to finance this work *already exists* within the cryonics community. (In fact a Mormon lurker pointed out to me privately that Mormons tithe at the 10% level, not 5% as I erroneously erroneously stated.) >the technology growth your project will need will finance the bulk of >the project. Perfected brain preservation needs no new technology in the sweeping sense that you are implying. Kidney vitrification technology, suitably adapted for brains, is all we need. >Maybe also it could be set up an investment program rather than a >begging bowl. Begging? We're all on the same sinking ship, and I don't think working toward a common goal of survival constitutes "begging". Dying is not good for one's balance sheet. Still, if there ultimately is money to be made from brain preservation technology, then I agree that those who contribute to the goal should profit in proportion. *************************************************************************** Brian Wowk CryoCare Foundation 1-800-TOP-CARE President Human Cryopreservation Services http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6381
