Subject: UK energy rationing and cryonicists' mobility
Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2005 18:08:41 +0100

Nice try, Mark, but all cryonics requires is one, one way, trip of the
person as an item of freight. I cannot imagine that any government would
impose rationing so strict that this one flight in an entire lifetime would
be
prohibited. If people want to go and live in the USA, **and they are allowed
to by the US authorities**, then they will. If not, then they won't. Maybe
cryonics can cream off the top people as has happened with other endeavours,
but they are not going to be swayed by spurious, irrelevant arguments about
energy and similar considerations. They will need more serious reasons. Also
they need positive encouragement rather than negative scare stories.

The UK cryonics movement is growing. At the recent Tenantspin webcast a
number of people expressed serious interest and much information was handed
out at the studio, not only to those at the cryonics session but also the
session about free enterprise space vehicles. I shall post a further
announcement when the archived webcast is available.
