X-Message-Number: 14803 Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2000 13:30:40 -0700 From: Linda Chamberlain <> Subject: Thomas Kirschner's Questions RE: #14787: How I lost my membership at Alcor [Thomas Kirschner] #14796: Alcor's obligations: a reply [david pizer] I won't go into great detail on this. Dave Pizer did a laudable job of explaining why Alcor is so cautious in membership matters. There was an article in Cryonics magazine recently about the role that secure funding plays in making sure that Alcor will be there, in the very long run, to keep safe our members in biostasis. That, after all, is our primary concern. Our mission statement is "The Preservation of Individual Lives". It does none of our members any good to be placed into biostasis if Alcor is NOT there to keep them in biostasis. Alcor would never have posted personal email correspondence with one of our members onto a public forum such as this. However, since Mr. Kirschner has done so, we feel it is a strong representation of one of the ways in which Alcor is ensuring the security of our patients. One of the most often expressed concerns is that of long term security. We thank Mr. Kirschner for providing an excellent example of Alcor's steadfast resolution to place our highest priority on long term care and safety of our members in biostasis.
