The founder of the "Eighth Day of Creation", Michael Saxer, knows that I
dislike the group as well as its goals. 

I understand very well that Michael Saxer is very upset about the fact
that the German government does not consider cryonics to be an
alternative to funerals. And I can relate to his feelings. I'm angry
about this fact, too.

However, I can not agree with the group of "Eighth Day of Creation". Not
because I'm a Transhumanist, but because I know that cryonics is
considered to be _disgusting_, _wacko_, _inhuman_ by many people in
Germany (and also by many people in the US). For those people who are
not educated enough about cryonics, a group like "Eighth Day of
Creation" would look like a cult which is supporting the idea of
freezing chopped off heads etc.
