X-Message-Number: 13814 From: "John de Rivaz" <> Subject: Denial fo Freedom to French Freezer Family Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2000 12:04:47 +0100 I refer to the case where people claiming authority under French law are acting against the family with some of its members in a freezer. It is likely that any intervention by cryonicists may well elicit, under oath, the question and response that suggests that, as the deceased were frozen without perfusion, the chance of reanimation are substantially and orders of magnitude reduced. However if the *intention* for reanimation is there, denying any chance, however small, is part way along the road to the extermination of the sick against their will, ie compulsory euthanasia. This is an important freedom issue and I do hope that the Human Rights court prevails against those imposing their wills upon this family under the guise of the authority. (It a bit like the old con: "Do as I say because God speaks through me.") -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, my singles club for people in Cornwall, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://geocities.yahoo.com/longevityrpt Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13814
