X-Message-Number: 22973 From: "Ben Best" <> Subject: No news is NO NEWS Date: Sun, 30 Nov 2003 07:43:56 -0800 Yvan Bozzonetti asks again about the legal situation in Michigan. The last issue of THE IMMORTALIST contains the following from David Ettinger: "The State of Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services has issued orders limiting CI's activities pending its licensure as a cemetery, which the Department claims is required. CI has filed papers indicating that it disagrees, and stating that the orders (which were not issued by a court) have no effect, because the Department has no jurisdiction over CI. Moreover, the orders have no impact on CI's patient care. CI cannot be more specific at this time, because of the sensitive nature of the legal process." "However, CI is hopeful that matters will soon be resolved favorably. The State of Michigan has made it clear in its press release that it is not anti-cryonics and believes that CI could continue to operate successfully if licensed as a cemetery." I am hopeful to be able to make a more substantive announcement in the near future. -- Ben Best, President Cryonics Institute Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=22973
