X-Message-Number: 24145 Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 17:20:55 -0700 Subject: Robert Nelson From: Joesph A Zarka <> Hello All. I read the Interview with Robert Nelson in the 2nd 2004 issue of Physcal Immortality. After reading it I thgought "What a great person!" Here is a man who believed so much in cryonics that he gave up every thing he had going for him to try to make his cryonic company work. Then I read on about the Chadsworth Patients, Nelson's Cryotorium, and Art Quaife's article "Cryonic Interment Patients Abandoned." That made me think something else might have been on Mr. Nelson's mind. I am looking for input from cryonet readers. I have two questions. 1. Was Robert Nelson a person who truly was interested in making cryonics work for the better of humanity and failed because he made some poor decisions? Or.......... 2. Was Robert Nelson just hoping to cash in on the possibility of cryonics taking off and making a lot of money? Was he being deseptive to his clients in the hopes that he could hold on long enough to cash in on the boom he thought was soon coming? Any thoughts?
