Subject: European cryonics

Outside UK, it seems european cryonics is not welcome, this is true in 

France, Spain and Germany at least. I don't know about Italy, Belgium and so on.
At 
least for France, it seems there could be a solution using the law on giving 
bodies to the science. If there was a legitimate research center, it could 
works.

Such a center could have, as a main objective, to keep bodies as biological 
archives. For example, if we had keept some corpses from the Spanish flu 

pandemics, we could have a vaccine for it now. The same may be true for some 
prion 
illness or newly discovered giant viruses. We don't know today what we will 
need tomorrow, so we must keep a sample of the general population, cryonics is 
the only way to do it.

I think this science and social side of cryonics must be put forward in 
countries with a "cryonics problem".

I hope the work on a first cryostat will start in France near the end of the 
month. Before all the paperwork will be untangled, the comming facility would 
be working with animals only.
