Re: CryoNet #8929 Humorous Survey
    From Doug Skrecky

Hi Doug:

I think you are doing a great job of taking the 'morbid' out of 
cryonics with the posting of your humorous survey.  Most of us 
see cryonics as a gateway to an extremely extended lifespan 
sometime in the future and perceive it accordingly with a 
positive mindset.  This is certainly not so for those, who are 
still unfamiliar with the idea and 'shiver' at the thought of 
spending decades in a very cold dewar.

Not that cryonics is any worse than the alternatives, just the 
thought of it is highly unfamiliar.  We think of eating a juicy 
steak, not of ingesting a 'piece of a dead cow'.  For most people 
cryonics is still a 'piece of a dead cow' rather than a tunnel to 
an exciting and fascinating future.

Your approach has given at least 8 people the opportunity to take 
a curious peek into that tunnel by demonstrating, that there are 
people in there, not some cold soul devouring monsters.

Keep it up and thanks,

Olaf
P.S: Maybe you should consider reposting your survey as modified 
from time to time.  Although I would be careful about references 
to separating head and/or brains from the rest of body at this 
tender stage of "our relationship". :)
