Now i think you're making a joke here, so please forgive me for pedantically explaining why i suggest people [even those who i may think have serious gaps in their moral, logical, and scientific judgment] get signed up at a cryonics org. (And of course i think it's great if they can make a suitable contribution to a local congregation, but that's a separate point.) There are two reasons for doing this: (1) I (we) may just succeed. Human life is truly precious, even if it's the life of someone who has blind spots. His life is still a treasure, and shouldn't just be thrown away. He will (we hope) have thousands of years to learn. (2) If we don't succeed, we may find out why not, and this knowledge may help us help others. Life is a treasure. dan Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16637
