X-Message-Number: 14629 From: Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 18:41:15 EDT Subject: Life and risk hello all! I know that I have a some what negative approach to the ideal wonderland of cryonics, but truthfully I wouldn't be here (online) if I didn't have my own interests in immortality. I am not a religious fanatic, so I am not going to feed anyone some kind of ficticious dogma while I'm here. Matters that seem miraculous, I take with a grain of salt. I expect others to take what I write the same way at times. Use your own disgression... that is my point. AS for the current issue, Cryonics: I have some quams with it, being that if new solutions are presented... can all of these be provided to people whom are already frozen? Well, you can not put blood substitution chemicals into some one whom is already frozen, right? So the race for a solution goes on? I don't know. I just kind of jumped into this recently and am behind in all the hype and fact behind the current issues and solutions... For example: Cells form crystalization when frozen which punctures vital tissues, brain, etc.. What can be done about this? I'm not one to know, but I would say that "PREVENTION" IS THE surest way around this... am I wrong? So, what happens to the others whom may or may not have any chance to see that future everyone is so excited about? In a pragmatic point of view, what does it matter right... as long as it works.
