In a private mail I was asked: > You recently wrote on the Cryonet: "Think about the well known cryonisist > that a few years ago was deported from Canada and back to the United States > after having dug up a corpse in Canada without the government's approval > (and possibly without the next of kin's), as a result of which said > Canadian state banned cryonics." > > I hadn't heard of this before. Who was the cryonicist, and who was the > corpse? And I surmise this was British Columbia? > > Thanks for clarifying. > Well since the two well known male cryonisists involved are still aggressively posting to the cryonet, let me call upon both to fill us all in on more of the details, or to add any corrections that might be appropriate. A few years ago, I posted some suggestions to the Cryonet, (completely unrelated to Canada and not touching upon the Canadian incident at all,) and got attacked by several people. In a private mail, someone said that it was strange that these people would attack me so strong, when 2 of those that attacked me the hardest at the time, had been involved in the above incident in Canada. The letter writer then explained what that had happened in Canada (see above) and named the two cryonisists involved. The person who wrote me asked me to confront those that attacked me. I didn't take the time to do so at the time. But if there is general interest to do so, I could look through my mail archives to see if I find the original private mail that I received with the above tip. I am sure the authorities in Canada (British Columbia?) would have everything on file too, at least the courts, coroners etc.. And the people that passed the law might know what prompted them too. Unless the exhumation was done in response to the law banning cryonics??? Since the cryonisists were caught, the government would know, anyway. Sincerely, Trygve Bauge Ps.I am not digging up anyone without the prior consent of the local government. Though I would understand anyone attempting to do so if it was a dearly beloved person that had been burried or if cryonics had been outlawed and the burrial had been forced by the government.
