X-Message-Number: 1809 Date: 23 Feb 93 19:14:53 EST From: MICHAEL RISKIN <> Subject: CRYONICS: Response to B.Wowk Mr. Wowk indicated that he did not believe a member simply paying dues and getting magazines could be harmful to his survival. I disagree. There are irrational people, with irrational motives, and destructive behavior. It is for that reason , I totally agree with Brenda Peters proposal of last year that the patients be kept off-limits to all but their caretakers. Her proposal was rejected by the board, but I want to revivify it. The public, the media, and potential dues paying/magazine getting members are allowed into the facility and the patient care areas.And, of course, so are current members who chose to attend meetings that occassionally occur at the facility. My main concern is that some fringe personality, bent on physical destruction , is potentially quite harmful to me (us) and in that regard I am in favor of membership exclusion (from the patient care areas and all other highly sensitive areas). Anyone else out there agree????? Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=1809
