X-Message-Number: 3127 From: Subject: CRYONICS Re: Risks, good and bad Date: Mon, 12 Sep 1994 21:29:49 -0700 (PDT) As usual, Charles Platt in his discussion of risk, managed to completely evade the issue at hand. Absolutely none of the scenarios he described have *anything* to do with the situation alluded to in Saul Kent's memo to Alcor's board. In fact, I would tend to agree with Charles' evaluation of the risks and benefits in the circumstances he described. The actual danger Saul and I were talking about, is one which exposes the patient involved to a high risk of complete *destruction* regardless of which organization has custody of that patient. AND, also regardless of whether or not the storage organization has no connection at all to the transport team that comits this "risk". Perhaps Charles thinks that he can goad me into being more irresponsibly explicit, if so he is wrong. However, I do feel compelled to at least try and encourage possible victims to ask direct questions.
