X-Message-Number: 1173 Date: 02 Sep 92 00:42:53 EDT From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: Re: cryonics: #1062 - #1070 To Tim Freeman on relevance of the "life force" to science: Many scientific questions, when examined, come out of such philosophical speculations. They result from an attempt to make such ideas detailed and complete rather than vague allusions to something or other. The increasing interest among neurophysiologists in understanding "awareness" gives a living example right now that you can see happening before you. So no, just because it smells of philosophy doesn't mean it should be excluded outright at all! Best and long life Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1173
