Subject: Keith supports cryonics in part because of his idealism

I think John K and others have an important point that if Keith is
battles a very powerful adversary he may end up paying a very steep
price, and that by the time somebody has been an adult a while, he
should know this.  He should know that in any society, there's a good
deal of propaganda about what basic rights a citizen has.

However, Keith fights this fight this because of his idealism and his
desire to make the world a better place, and he would like our society
to be a little truer to its promises.

If he weren't so idealistic, then he might not be a cryonicist,
or have participated in suspending others in the first place.

Finally, i don't think anybody is recommending that cryonics
organizations take any official position vis-a-vis any particular
religion, and the day will come when we have members from all
religions --- including of course the one Keith is dealing with.  But
for now, anybody who can help Keith out of this fix will be doing a
favor to one of our pioneers.
