X-Message-Number: 16774 Date: Sun, 01 Jul 2001 10:01:47 -0700 From: Lee Corbin <> Subject: Re: Why beings of the future *will have to* bring us back Dave Pizer and Scott Badger predict that entities of the future will find it of absolute moral necessity to bring back people from the past. I think that this is almost certainly correct. They will consider it morally beneath contempt to allow people to remain frozen who could otherwise live. They will, I claim, see the situation as the moral equivalent of rescuing people from a hazardous situation. Even today, all societies find it morally unconscionable to allow victims of traffic accidents to be left unaided, even if there is no guarantee of insurance coverage. The very idea of just letting people die is no longer acceptable. So it's just a question of time before intelligent people realize the logical necessity of treating in the same matter those who have recently deanimated.
