X-Message-Number: 28292 Date: Sun, 06 Aug 2006 12:51:21 -0500 From: Subject: "Embryo Cryonics" a Devious Diversion I read these posts in amazement, that any cryonicist would advocate the diversion of important resources from the needs of entities with established individuality and identity, to some perceived need of embryos. But then I do not seriously consider embryos to have developed to the point of having sentience; is it really important to give them a chance at reanimation so they can become human beings? Personally I think that Terra is already overpopulated, thank you. With those thoughts in mind, it occurs to me that folks such as "Human Screener" may not be what they seem. The particular ilk of religious nut who thinks embryos have souls like human babies supposedly do, would find consistency in trying to divert cryonics organizations from staying on track, as in most cases they also believe immortality already is covered via soul survival and there is no real need for cryonics anyway; in fact, it may be an affront to the will of God. So has Human Screener even told us why he/she thinks embryos are worthy of and should be cryopreserved? If so, I missed it. I didn't see it in the footnotes.
