Subject: Addition to "Probability"

On the CI/IS web site (see below) I have posted, near the end, an addition to
"Cryonics: The Probability of Rescue." This is intended to clarify the
connection. Go to "Contents" and then click on "Cryonics: The Probability of
Rescue."

I remain optimistic about the chances of most of our patients, based on very
specific and clearly spelled out rationale. For various reasons of habit and
psychology, not everyone can be persuaded, regardless of the strength of the
argument; but it is laid out for anyone interested.

And I suppose it is necessary, yet again, to touch the base and say that my
optimism is by no means a reason or recommendation for complacency. But it IS
an additional reason not to put off signing up.
