X-Message-Number: 3316 Date: Fri, 21 Oct 94 09:43:44 From: Subject: CRYONICS Replies to Charles Platt and Mike Perry To Charles: Your point is well taken. After a long path, we end up at the same place agreeing that care needs to be taken in the promotional material of all cryonics organizations. I hadn't thought of it before, but one reason Saul might not have been able to raise any money to save his patients is because his literature made it look like he didn't need any. ==== To Mike: I agree with your long posting that we should gather all the historical material on CSNY, CSC, and CryoSpan into one book and offer it for distribution so that we can all determine what mistakes were made and how to avoid these disasters in the future. I appreciate your offer of cash donation to underwrite this (are you also volunteering to do the work for free?). I will also offer to donate $200 and encourage ALL others who have been involved in this long running debate to also put up. One comment to your concern that the pamphlets may have been produced before any suspensions were done and therefore Saul may not have been in financial trouble at the time of the printing. Take another look. One of the phamplets shows two of their frozen patients in glossy photographs. I don't think they could have "guessed" that they were going to suspend these people some day in the future. Therefore they must have done at least two suspensions when they printed this one.
