X-Message-Number: 9980 Date: Sun, 5 Jul 1998 01:25:18 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #9969 - #9973 To Scott Badger: The idea of offering a free suspension to someone famous has popped up and even been done several times. So far, NO recipient of such an offer has taken it up --- a strong suggestion that it is quite useless. If someone famous actually came to us, and could not afford a suspension, that would be different. But fundamentally it seems like a way to spend time and effort without return. Bob Ettinger (so far as I understand his views) has actually come to the position that if someone does NOT want to be suspended that impugns their claim to fame and even to any special understanding. That seems a bit strong to me, but I still do not think we would get very far by offering suspensions to any famous people. Best and long long life, with suspension, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=9980
