Subject: CRYONICS: C.Wells and B. Wowk-an observation

     B.Wowk stated that his first priority is saving his own skin (as he
indicates is the priority of most cryonicists.)
     C.Wells is quite vigorous in condemning the notion of membership
exclusion.
    Personally, I am in principle opposed to the idea of membership
exclusion,( although, for example, the idea of signing up a hypothetical
person with a history of purposeful destructive behavior towards cryonics,
cryonicists, and life extension without some questions ,bothers me). 
   However, I believe that those in favor of membership exclusion, might
well believe that such exclusion is consistent with the notion of" saving
ones own skin as a first priority." 
   Two questions:
   To C. Wells : Is saving your own skin YOUR first priority?
   To B.Wowk: Would you exclude a member if you believed such member was
detrimental to YOUR survival?
