X-Message-Number: 16474 Date: Fri, 08 Jun 2001 16:40:39 -0500 From: Ken Wolfe <> Subject: Cryonics Society of Canada References: <> Something of interest to Canadians on the forum: The Cryonics Society of Canada (CSC) is a Canadian non-profit corporation. We are primarily dedicated to informing Canadians about cryonics, and to raising consciousness about cryonics in this country among journalists and legislators. We also provide a forum for Canadians who wish to discuss cryonics related issues and problems. Cryonics is the science of cryopreservation of human patients who are beyond the help of modern medicine. The goal is to preserve the patient's body and identity until such time as technology is developed which can revive them to life and health. It is motivated by the desire to extend human longevity beyond its current limits. Currently all the organizations which actually conduct human cryopreservation operate in the United States. The CSC has no facilities for performing cryopreservation or for maintaining patients in cryopreservation. We currently have no ambitions for providing such service. However, we are looking towards providing infrastructure for prompt local response for Canadian patients with the need and desire for cryopreservation. Anyone interested in cryonics in Canada is welcome to join our on-line forum/mailing list where you can ask questions or participate in discussions.
