In-reply-to: "'s message of Tue, 26 Sep 89 21:01 EDT" To: Message-ID: <> Postings by (Mark Robert Thorson) are sufficiently extreme that no one with any sense could possibly believe them. I think his postings serve the useful purpose of persuading anyone who reads them that some people oppose cryonics for reasons that are (very) clearly emotional. The next time they hear someone arguing that cryonics is either technically infeasible or undesirable, they will be more inclined to believe such opinions are based on emotion. In addition, his postings provide an opportunity to counter-post. Almost any response will look calm and reasoned by comparison, and can serve to educate people about basic issues. Cheers!
