I feel that if we have a strong moral argument in place, if and when an opportunity comes up, (as in a big, public legal case of some related topic) in the public eye that we can tie into, we can begin the long process to show people that cryonics is what people ***ought*** to do when they die and not bury, cremate etc. <<<< One such example is the ongoing frurore in the UK about post mortem dissection and the retention of body parts by the authorities. I have posted some additional links to government documents on http://www.autopsychoice.com , including the main report which previously had to be bought at some expense as a printed copy. Cryonicists may find these links useful and interesting. It does seem as though the governing authorities in Britain are in favour of more choice for the citizen. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://www.deRivaz.com my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://www.geocities.com/longevityrpt http://www.autopsychoice.com - http://www.cryonics-europe.org - http://www.porthtowan.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=16970
