X-Message-Number: 22435 From: "Andrew Clifford" <> Subject: Cryonics Institute Situation Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2003 10:38:37 +0100 All, I believe that it is quite foolish for CI to attempt a legal battle and should simply register as a cemetary with good grace and keep a good relationship with the authorities. We live in a society where government regulates everything from landfill to babyfood. Of course it is disappointing that Cryonics can't go unregulated forever - but this is inevitable as membership increases. It would be far more productive to work constructively with the authorities to define a new class of cemetary which recognizes low-temperature storage (and permits some post-mortem preparation) - and gain all the benefits and protection that official registration implies.
