Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. ------ =_NextPart_000_01BC0863.B10C2940 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I apologize in advance for the following lengthy message, but I would appreciate input from members of the cryonics community. Below is a draft of the addendum of my novel, The First Immortal, which I expect to be published this summer. Hallmark/CBS has already optioned the mini-series rights, and intents to produce it, most likely airing summer of '98. Hopefully the book (which is very pro-cryonics) and mini-series will help attract favorable attention to the field. I'm sure this addendum can be improved, and any suggestions would be appreciated: WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER? Most of us wonder what will become of the human race. Advances in technology could result in our self-destruction, our spiritual and intellectual stagnation, or even a fantastic heaven on earth. Here I have presented a very optimistic view of the future, but perhaps not as optimistic as it might seem. Human life has been steadily improving, on average, for centuries. It does seem clear that any 22nd-century world that you and I could actually succeed in reaching would have to possess the spirit, though not the fictional specifics, of the world I've drawn. In order that human beings be revived on a wholesale basis, the ultimate value of human life as a philosophical axiom is prerequisite. Any society with such science at its command could have no other reason to revive humans from the ice. And if the human race self-destructs, those in suspension will never know the difference. But would those of us accustomed to 20th-century life enjoy even a utopian future? All change takes getting used to, yet we may have good reason to adapt. Just imagine how today's civilization would seem to those who had lived several centuries ago. After the initial trauma wore off, former citizens of the 1500s would surely come to appreciate modern life as itself a form of utopia. Despite its many problems, our world is an astounding improvement over theirs. What would it be worth to you to glimpse-and perhaps inhabit-our world of a century or more from now? I have long suspected that we walk among the last few generations of mortal humans. Perhaps our great-great-grandchildren, grandchildren, or even our children will stave off death long enough to see the final defeat of aging. Most likely, however, we will not. Worse yet, once we die it is only a matter of time-and generally not much of it-before we, and nearly everything we value, are forgotten. Yet hope endures for those of us born too soon, now that a bridge might well extend across the Chasm of Time to whatever curative marvels await humanity on the other side. Over the past two years, while researching this novel, I immersed myself in the culture of the cryonicists. I subscribed to their newsletters and e-mail lists, monitored their newsgroups, joined various organizations, and devoured countless books and Web sites on cryonics and nanotech. I've corresponded and spoken with pioneers of cryonics, always trying to keep an open mind. I've also listened to and read the often well-reasoned arguments of detractors, skeptics, and cynics. WILL CRYONICS WORK? This is not an easy question to answer, but there is reason for hope. Indeed the answer may well be contained in a secondary question it begs: Is repair at the molecular level possible? Yes! Nature herself proves it. And when will such technology become available? That is unknowable, of course, but time is on our side. Liquid nitrogen temperature will hold cells in near-perfect stasis for literally hundreds of centuries. If someone had proposed, just 75 years ago, that during this century a device would be built to crash two photons together, creating trajectories for quarks, that person might have been deemed insane. A photon is to a cell as a grain of sand is to an elephant. Yet today it has already been done. Only 50 years ago, most scientists deemed space travel a pipe dream, and some contended that the sound barrier would never be broken. Many doctors, 40 years ago, considered heart transplants scientifically impossible. Who, even 30 years ago, could have imagined today's laptop computers, omnipresent cellular phone systems, or the Internet? Is it feasible, even likely, that within the next few centuries we will learn to repair damaged cell structures molecule by molecule, either through nanotechnology or any other scientific discipline from an infinite array of possibilities? What do you think? At first I was skeptical myself, but to paraphrase a line from this novel, the cannons of science seem to thunder from the side of the cryonicists. I considered as metaphor (or is it just metaphor?) that we all suffer from a terminal disease, with cryonic suspension as the only experimental treatment available for that disease. The question I asked myself was simply this: Do I wish to be part of the test group... or the control group? The alternative being certain death, whatever that may mean, only cryonics offers genuine hope, a realistic chance for revival and rejuvenation; perhaps even immortality. Such a prize, however likely or improbable one might deem its attainment, ought to be worthy of substantial investment in coin and time. Furthermore, it seems the height of arrogance to insist that cryonics cannot work simply because science does not yet possess the ability to revive frozen mammals. By the time medical science possesses the technology to repair freezing damage, we will most likely know how to reverse aging as well, and thus no longer need cryonics at all. Eventually, I signed up. In case the hopeful ice is an option you would consider for yourself and those you love, this section offers advice which, of course, you should accept or reject as your own common sense dictates. INVESTIGATE: Here is a list of recommended books, Web sites, newsletters, magazines, newsgroups, and other valuable sources of information. In fact, I adapted many of the concepts in this novel from ideas encountered in these fascinating publications: BOOKS - The Prospect of Immortality, by Robert C. W. Ettinger. Published by Doubleday in the early 1960s, this is the book which started it all. Although the time-frame has not progressed as rapidly as predicted in this classic, the concepts are presented with accessibility, humor, and great intelligence. (Note: This book is hard to find, but is generally available for sale from Alcor and the Cryonics Institute, both listed below. Also recommended for adventurous readers, Ettinger's sequel: Man into Superman.) Engines of Creation, by Eric Drexler. (Also available free on the World Wide Web at: http://www.asiapac.com/EnginesOfCreation/ ) First published during the mid-1980s, EOC is an amazing book on nanotechnology. Clear, concise, easy to understand, and thoroughly brilliant. I consider Engines of Creation one of the best books ever written on any field of science. Trade paperback published by Anchor Books, 1987. The Demon-Haunted World, by Carl Sagan. A logical treatise on the differences between science and superstition. Random House, 1995. Virus of the Mind, by Richard Brodie. An accessible and highly entertaining book about memetics, the science which attempts to explain how people become enslaved by advertising, religion, cults, mysticism, and other "memes." Integral Press, 1996.

Yet neither is it particularly difficult once you make up your mind to confront each roadblock with determination. We humans are barnacled with hoary traditions. We're also rigged with a genetic propensity to accept-and succumb to-cultural norms, one of which is the acceptance of death's inevitability. Furthermore, most people do not enjoy thinking about death or any of its aspects, and dealing with the red tape of any cryonics organization's paperwork-obtaining all the necessary signatures, obscure information, and documentation-forces us to do just that. Begin your investigation of cryonics immediately. Call two or more cryonics organizations today to get their information packets. When they arrive, read them carefully and promptly. Don't be discouraged. Keep reminding yourself of the astounding potential payoff versus the nominal cost in time and money. Make your decision in a rational and timely manner, and if you decide in favor of cryonics, grit your teeth and get it done. PROTECT YOUR MONEY: Every major study ever conducted on the connection between the two confirms that increased wealth improves one's chances of survival. If you are willing to work hard, live below your means, and invest the difference wisely, you will likely live longer, maintain sufficient means to afford suspension for yourself and your family, and perhaps even have funds left over to place in trust for your eventual revival. Often it is most frugal to purchase a life insurance policy, naming your cryonics organization as beneficial owner. If you are on the Internet, you can get competitive quotes from numerous competing companies through Quickquote, at: http://www.quickquote.com For example: A 44-year-old male in perfect health can purchase a $125,000 term policy for as little as $277.50 per year, although most cryonicists prefer to buy a whole-life policy, which is more expensive up-front, but more economical in the long run. If you are a financial basket case, you now have new incentive to cure your self-destructive ways. Make up your mind to reform immediately! I highly recommend The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need (Harcourt Brace, 1996) by financial guru Andrew Tobias, available at most book stores, or from www.amazon.com. Fun to read, easily understandable, this book offers truly sage guidance. You can also catch Tobias's daily financial advice column free on the Internet, at www.ceres.com. STAY HEALTHY: Every day you survive with mind and memory intact improves your odds of immortality. Cryonic preservation techniques will no doubt continue to improve, so the longer you live before being frozen (assuming your mind and memory remain sound), the more likely you are to be revived with your identity intact. Thus the importance of maintaining your health takes on a new dimension. Beware of quackery, mysticism, and sloppy science. You can't believe everything you read, even in the New York Times, but the odds of finding accuracy there are considerably better than in the supermarket tabloids. The same rules apply to health publications. I generally recommend mainstream magazines, books, and newsletters about health and nutrition, because information found in most "new age" and fringe publications tends to be less reliable. Health and Prevention magazines are excellent sources of health-related information. Consumer Reports publishes an outstanding health newsletter. My favorite book on health, exercise, and nutrition is Living Lean (Simon and Schuster, 1997) by Larry North. A few more suggestions: Practice moderation in your diet and other health habits. Learn to work with your doctor(s), prepare for each visit, and ask intelligent questions. Proactive patients receive a much greater benefit from the doctor/patient relationship than do passive patients. Exercise regularly but try not to over-exert. People who walk three to five miles a day live longer, on average, than marathon runners. Do not succumb to fad diets and other health-related frauds, which are omnipresent. And don't forget to exercise your mind, too! REMEMBER, YOU DON'T LIVE IN A VACUUM: Support cryonics and biotech research if you can afford to. Join a local cryonics chapter if you can find one near you. Otherwise, start one. Perhaps most important of all, subvert mysticism by tactfully debunking it whenever you can. We denizens of the 20th century are drowning in new-age pronouncements "proving" the existence of life beyond the physical. But life's countless coincidences in no way prove (or disprove) the existence of an Afterlife. In fact, the only thing coincidences do prove, is the law of probabilities. The next time someone mentions The Celestine Prophesy or some other mystical or new-age book, try to get them to read The First Immortal, or any of the four books I have listed earlier in this section. All humans are entitled to their own opinions, of course, but you can help undermine mysticism by encouraging others to learn to think for themselves. Immortalists will have to change the world's view of death, one person at a time. Never be afraid to tell your friends and loved ones about cryonics, but expect some skepticism. It's not necessary to convince them, yet how much better are your own chances if your loved ones truly understand that cryonics is what you want? And how much improved are all of our odds when the cultural attitude about death has changed throughout the world from one of resignation and despair... to optimism and hope? Perhaps you and I will meet a century or more from now.
