X-Message-Number: 26490 From: "John de Rivaz" <> 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. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://John.deRivaz.com for websites including Cryonics Europe, Longevity Report, The Venturists, Porthtowan, Alec Harley Reeves - inventor, Arthur Bowker - potter, de Rivaz genealogy, Nomad .. and more Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=26490
