Subject: CRYONICS many-worlds

I thank Yvan Bozzonetti for the reference on many-worlds. A quick 
check of my references, and in particular, a 1995 book by Victor J. 
Stengler, *The Unconscious Quantum*, which is somewhat hostile to
many-worlds and favors another, single-world interpretation, shows no
mention of either Adrian Kent or this 1990 paper. It appears then that
this "refutation" (if that is what it claims to be) of many-worlds has not 
taken the physics community by storm. In any case, though, I must allow 
that many-worlds cannot be considered a scientific "fact" with 
the same standing, say, as Darwinian evolution. It makes a 
convenient foundation for some of the arguments in the book
I'm writing, but I realized, on thinking, that it is not absolutely
necessary--I will note some alternatives too.
