X-Message-Number: 18856 Date: Sun, 24 Mar 2002 06:56:40 -0500 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #18849 - #18854 Hi everyone! I was disturbed to hear about the destruction of old cryonics correspondence by both Bob and Mike Darwin. My reason is simple: such correspondence will eventually tell us a good deal about how cryonics successfully came into existence. As historical material it is irreplaceable. I would hope that both men reflect a bit more about what they are doing... assuming that the destruction hasn't already occurred. And if it has, then that's too bad. Its storage, of course, would have to be undertaken by some other agency in any case... I personally doubt that either man will live long enough to reach immortality without suspension. We and others who don't use Cryonet would need to work out a storage system, and it looks to me (assuming destruction hasn't happened) that we'd have had to do so soon. Best wishes and long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18856
