X-Message-Number: 14881 Date: Wed, 08 Nov 2000 23:02:50 -0700 From: Mike Perry <> Subject: Orgs. founding dates, attitudes on cryonics To correct a minor error in John de Rivaz's posting (#14869), Alcor was founded before CI (1972 vs. 1976). CI was not the first cryonics-related organization in Michigan, but I think the first to offer suspension services. Mike Donahue, #14872, offers some thoughts (good ones too) on why we don't get many signups, then says >Okay, well, I'd be more than willing to hear what anyone has to say on these >ideas, positive or negative. It might help with learning to presuade people >to sign up. ... Chapter 3 of my book is devoted to why so many don't choose cryonics, while a few do.
