X-Message-Number: 18374 From: "George Smith" <> Subject: Religion and Cryonics. Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2002 10:50:29 -0800 Especially to new readers of the Cryonet, I wish to make clear that cryonics has NO problem with accepting anyone from any religion. Cryonics is NOT a religious decision at all. Cryonics IS simply a MEDICAL choice intended to extend physical life. Cryonics is "an ambulance to the future." 50 years ago when people had heart attacks and their hearts stopped we declared them dead. Today we can often restore them to life. We expect that advancements in medicine will continue and cryonics SUSPENDS the damages so that in that future it is hoped these damages can be reversed. So please do not be misled. Cryonics has nothing to do with religion any more than going to your hospital emergency room has to do with religion. Members come from all faiths as well as no faiths. All are welcome.
