Subject: Russia and Cryonics

I personally think that exploring how it might be
possible to lobby in Russia would be a good idea. I
also suspect that some countries like Japan and Korea
would be amenable here. 

If cryonicists could just get 3-5 countries to
_firmly_ legalize cryonics, this would be a big step
forward.

I tend to agree, the political situation in the US is
such that there is a good chance the religious right
will at some point ban cryonics in the US. Now, the
other option here to start exploring allies in the
Democratic party. Dennis Kucinich for example is
trying to figure out how to appeal to libertarian
voters(for example he had  a recent positive article
about John Gilmore on his blog).
