Subject: Attention James Swayze...

James,


I think it is obvious that cryonics  needs disabled people like you and I 
signing up. It's the most obvious use for cryonics. 


Our circumstances are very different, you and I, but the basic message is the 
same; cryonics presents a beautiful opportunity for people like me (brain 
injury), you (quadraplegia) and the numerous other afflictions that millions 
face. 


To have more disabled people in cryonics is to, I believe, level the playing 
field a lot more. If more disabled people are able to access cryonics, this will
be  one of the greatest PR triumphs cryonics could ever hope for, because it 
brings the Australian concept of a "fair go". 


Could we really say that to have a twisted, palsied, drooling wreck, worse off 
than myself and certainly worse than a "normal" person, go to their grave after 
a lifetime of disability was fair? 


When I asked my stepdad why disabled people were put in their graves after not 
getting "a fair go",  (he is utterly opposed to cryonics), he replied "Because 
that's life!"  

Not good enough. 

Rape and murder are events in life, but they are not acceptable either. 


So I put out the clarion call to all disabled people out there, not just myself 
and Swayze, to endeavour to get ourselves frozen and thereby get a fair go.
