X-Message-Number: 20356 Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2002 08:32:30 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: CryoNet #20350 - #20355 For James Swayze: First of all, I am surprized that the Cryonics Society of Michigan has not instituted some of the measures you list. Anyone who considers the issue of cryonic suspension would add that none of these measures really guarantee that you will be suspended, but that is a weak reason not to do them anyway. One simple thing you might do is to ask Alcor for its membership forms. Yes, I know there has been some hostility in the past, but that should be disappearing, as it should. It's NOT that you would simply copy those forms, but that you could use them to write out forms for the Cryonics Institute. Those forms will inevitably be different, because some of the policies of the two societies differ. But they would help you write out forms for the Cryonics Institute. Years ago, when I first lived in Australia, I did a lot of work to set up CAA as a society incorporated under Australian law. Getting forms and other legal information for the other societies helps a lot: that is one major advantage of cooperation. Best wishes for your project, and long long life, of course, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=20356
