X-Message-Number: 25371 From: Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 13:56:38 EST Subject: Alcor patient # vs Cryonics Institute patient # According to the CI website and the recent Alcor press release regarding Ted Williams, both Alcor and CI have 67 patients each. I knew you guys were competitive but don't you think this is a bit extreme? Mike Donahue ;-) Seriously, I was thinking about Alcor and CI the other day at an Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences event about cameras. In the motion picture camera world, Arriflex and Panavision dominate the markets almost 100%. They are strong competitors and rivals. They both have made significant contributions to motion picture technology. However, they are also friends. They exchange information. Panavision owns and rents Arriflex cameras to their clients who want those cameras. Somewhere in there is a lesson to be learned- I hope that someday there will be many active Cryonics suspension companies, until the need for them is past. see you tomorrow!
