Sally:
I began my research into life extension and cryonics a couple of months before my mother died in November at 66 from liver cancer.
I came into this venue with no ax to grind.
I want to, and will do everything, to keep it that way.
I did my research before choosing cryonics.
I encourage you, for starters, to visit www.alcor.org and cryoics.org
(Cryonics Institute), if you have not already done so.
I believe in life, and don't want dissolution (burial, cremation, or any other means).
I hate to brag, but I know more much more about cryonics procedures than I did
last fall.
I say this not as a measure of braggadocio, but because I want to learn about
a procedure that may save people from diseases like cancer, COPD, heart disease, and, yes, the aging process.
By the way, Sally, are you aware that the FDA does not recognize aging as a disease, despite the fact that one's chances for cancer, type-two diabetes and other chronic diseases increase dramatically after age 60, and even if one were to avoid such ills, the very process of aging would kill anyone?
Chastise me if you wish, Sally.
You're welcome to join us, learn, and exchange ideas about, cryonics.
I'm not here to play flamethrower.
I came into cryonics, because I fear for my life, and I want more life.
I fear what is on the other side.
I want to drink, as Robert Ettinger may have said, the wine of centuries unborn.
Thanks.
