X-Message-Number: 23460 Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2004 09:47:17 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Platt <> 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 Also, an inquiry into the formerly unpublished techniques applied by a cryonics organization is inconvenient only if you really can't spare the time to tell people what you are doing--or you are prevented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. --Charles Platt Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=23460
