I've gotten the same request from several others, so if there are no
objections I'll post some sort of summary at the end of the semester
and/or year (it's actually a two-semester course, with the first semester
focusing on becoming familiar with the technology and the second on the
philosophical implications, but I have no doubt there'll be some overlap).

The students are all typical college freshman age, although I have no
doubt that some of them are more mature than others :)  I'm the oldest
student there.  I haven't actually 'come out' as an immortalist yet, and
will probably wait first to see what they think of 'people like that'
without the inhibition of knowing there's one there.

Long life,
Ruthanna Gordon
