X-Message-Number: 19149 Date: Fri, 24 May 2002 17:07:31 -0700 From: James Bryan Swayze <> Subject: Mourning Stephen Jay Gould's untimely and wasteful deanimation References: <> I just learned that Stephen Jay Gould died from cancer last Monday the 20th of May. I liked his courage in standing up to pseudo science... activities that don't even deserve the term science mentioned with or about them. What a shame he, to my knowledge, wasn't a cryonicist. He probably felt in traditional evolutionary terms that the old should properly die to make way for the next generation. Too bad, he might have enjoyed seeing the results as we direct our own evolution. I will miss him. http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/science/05/20/obit.gould.ap/ James -- My website: http://www.geocities.com/~davidpascal/swayze/ A collection of photos of me and some of my artwork: http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4292752723&code=2039335&mode=invite A radio interview on Dr. J's ChangeSurfer Radio program with me and the father of cryonics Prof. Robert Ettinger, author of "The Prospect of Immortality": http://www.radio4all.net/proginfo.php?id=3728 A religion I actually recommend: http://uk.geocities.com/venturist2001/index.html A favorite quote: Last lines of the first Star Trek the Next Generation movie.
