You forgot the "Obcryo" (obligatory cryonics significance) line, though, and there certainly is a relationship to cryonics (unlike some of the recent messages on CryoNet). From my reading of message #2459 (Mike Darwin, Nov. 14, 1993) a member of any cryonics organization who dies of Ebola virus almost certainly will _not_ get cryopreserved. The virus is just too dangerous for the suspension team or anyone else to get near it. Unless something has changed in the last year and a half, Ebola cannot be contained effectively yet, unlike other deadly diseases such as AIDS. Kevin Q. Brown PS: Also see messages 2451 and 2456.
