They get up in the morning and go to bed at night but they never wake up. This group of people need to learn how to think for themselves. I fear most are beyond help and it is just too late for them to start. There is no fast answer to the cryonics dilemma. The only answer I see to increasing the cryonics population is through the education of young people. I mean education only in the sense of educating people how to think and not just accepting things on faith, as is required in religion. If we could get people to ask for proof, ALL the time, eventually, , , , , well great things could happen. "Show me" and "Prove it" should be a major part of our communication skills. A word of caution, if you start using "Show Me" and "Prove It" to the wrong people you might/will get into a lot of trouble. The reason being they can not show you and they can not prove it and they become frustrated because you wont accept on faith what they say. So we must begin with young people. The ones that want to know the truth and will say, "Show Me" and "Prove It". Billy H.
