By this logic, everyone on the OJ jury should be a Heisman Trophy winner.
Stone's argument from authority is useless to anyone's point of view. His
lack of concern doesn't mean that those of us who *are* involved shouldn't
care about the safety of our freinds in cryonic suspension and of our own
lives.

In message #4076, Charles Platt says that he doesn't put much store in 
anything I ever say, which makes us about even. Then he follows with his 
own argument from authority ('I get paid a lot so I must be right') and 
his third vow never to reply to me again.

Platt and others have expressed exasperation at Trygve Bauge for his failure
to see how flouting (unjust) laws can endanger his own patients and even
other organizations. At least Trygve is publicly open and honest about what 
he's doing so that anyone thinking of dealing with him knows what they're 
getting, that's admirable. If only Platt et al would do likewise, I wouldn't
have much to say. But all we see from them is evasions.

Ever forward,

David
