Subject: "adversarial" inquiries
References: <>

Ben Best complains that adversarial email exchanges are
inconvenient. But a serious and obviously relevant inquiry
about the best methods to prevent ischemic injury is not
"adversarial" as I understand the word. Also, an inquiry into
the formerly unpublished techniques applied by a cryonics
organization is inconvenient only if you really can't spare
the time to tell people what you are doing--or you are
prevented from telling people by an organizational policy.

Surely any member of any cryonics organization has a right to
know what procedures will be applied to him, or her, after
legal death. "We'll tell you later, when it is appropriate
for us to do so" does not seem a very encouraging answer--
least of all from someone who has been known, in the past, as
an advocate of full disclosure.
