X-Message-Number: 6687 Date: 05 Aug 96 04:35:09 EDT From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Re: Prometheus in the Immortalist I guess that I've really botched this one up good. Let me try to make my position clear. 1. I have great respect, honor and appreciation for Bob Ettinger as the "father" of cryonics. Without him, there might well not be any chance of such a project as I am promoting. 2. I have no power or right to stop, forbid or "refuse to let" Bob Ettinger publishing whatever he likes in his *own* periodical. This is even more the case for me than others since *I* don't agree with copyright protection or libel/defamation laws. 3. I believe that it is unfair and partial for a publication to publish a criticism of something without in the same issue publishing all meaningful replies to that criticism which were available to it at the closing date of the issue. And furthermore, I don't understand why rational people would want to read a publication which does such things. 4. I believe that I have both the right and the duty to point out such transgressions wherever I find them in order to let social pressure and ostracism eradicate them and achieve a kind of spontaneous good order. 5. That is all. -- Paul -- !!!!! REVERSIBLE BRAIN CRYOPRESERVATION *CAN* BE ACHIEVED IN 10 YEARS !!!!!
