Basie replied:
"Where will you go? If Alcor is closed there will no
more suspensions anywhere. It is probable time to look
at chemical suspensions. If nanobots
can fix damage due to freezing they should have no
problems with cross linking."

My response:
First let me say that I do not anticipate recent
events will result in the demise of ALCOR, but
contingency plans are always a good idea. Second, I'm
not sure why you assume that the demise of ALCOR would
mean the demise of cryonics. And I'm not familiar
enough with chemical suspensions to comment on your
final remark.

Other comments:
Let me take this opportunity to also offer
congratulations and best wishes to Ben Best as the new
Prez of CI.

I also am very impressed with Rick Potvin's letter of
apology to Charles Platt. Such humility is rare. I
believe Charles should graciously and publicly accept
the apology. And then I think a big virtual hug is
called for.

Best regards,
