X-Message-Number: 14672 Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2000 17:03:15 -0400 From: Sabine Atkins <> Subject: Re: Your opinion please References: <> <p04320407b60a654b54a9@[192.168.1.2]> Please visit http://www.achter-tag.de/ There is also a contact email address on this site. 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. David Stodolsky wrote: > You really haven't given enough information for me to offer any feedback. > > I would be interested in contacting this man directly for more > information, since apparently he would not consider you as fairly > representing his views. > > dss > -- > David S.
