Subject: CRYONICS:  Reply To Keith Henson

Keith Henson suggests that my ideas are a threat to Alcor and might be
a greater threat in the future.  He mentions two examples of ideas of
mine that he believes to be a threat to Alcor:  splitting off Alcor's
responsibility for patient care to another, separate organization; and
"politicizing" Alcor's Board. (By "politicizing", I assume Keith means
allowing some degree of democracy in the election of The Board.)

Neither of these ideas are "mine".  The idea of a separate patient care
organization is Mark Voelker's.  The idea of allowing some degree of
democracy in Alcor was suggested by a number of others including
President elect Steve Bridge long before I said anything about it.

What I find disturbing is Keith's notion that my (or anyone else's)
"ideas" are a threat to Alcor.  On the contrary, I believe that the open
expression of ideas is critically important for Alcor's success.

I have two additional questions for Keith:

	1.  Do you know of anyone else on The Alcor Board who believes
that my continued active involvement in Alcor is a threat to the
organization?

	2.  Do you know of any other Alcor member who believes that my
continued active involvement in Alcor is a threat to the organization?
