X-Message-Number: 9108 Date: Wed, 4 Feb 1998 08:34:53 -0700 (MST) From: Fred Chamberlain <> Subject: Cryonics stats! (CryoNet Posting #9096) From: Fred Chamberlain <> Subject: Cryonics stats! (CryoNet Posting #9096) It's new this month, and there's no history online yet, but in the "Alcor Phoenix Online" (thanks to Roderick Carder-Russell's efforts) there's a graphic of a table we publish each month, giving the number of Suspension Members, Persons in the Signup Process, and Associate Members broken down by State (in the U.S.) and country, worldwide. With time, as we put the data for past years online, those who wish to analyze trends (at least for one organization) will have more figures to work with. More significantly, if (as I think) we are about to hit a steep upward "knee in the curve" as a result of Jame's Halperin's "The First Immortal", such data will give us a month by month published assessment of what is happening. Since you will see it in terms of those who are subscribing and sending in application forms (with $150), as well as those who are signing up (and, sadly, dropping out - the "suspension member count" is the sum of those two), there should be a lot of useful indices, in geographic spectral form. For those who wish to see the current status without hunting around through a lot of links, the URL is: http://www1.shore.net/~rodc/phoenix/phoenixv4i8p7.html (that's on Roderick's site, linked out of Alcor at this time).
