I believe it to be the most important question in regard to this entire issue. Thank you for pointing out my apparent error. I hope this posting helps clarify what I was trying to convey with too few words. I was pointing out your "apparent error" in stating that "cryonics can work" is a "fact" because I hoped you would recognize that, in fact, you made an error rather than an "apparent error". Other than that error, how- ever, I believe your previous "too few words" were much better in explaining your point than the many words with which you answered my question. Your point, that any statement that cryonics cannot work is an opinion rather than a fact is true. It is also true, however, that this truth alone has not converted many people to cryonics in the past 35 years. It worked for me in 1964, but it hasn't worked for many others. For most people, you have to present evidence that cryonics can work. I'm looking forward to the time, which I believe will be in the near future, when the evidence we can present for cryonics is quite a bit better than it is now. ---Saul Kent Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12885
