X-Message-Number: 490 From att!compuserve.com!73647.1215 Thu Oct 3 00:58:21 EDT 1991 Date: 03 Oct 91 00:47:19 EDT From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: Re: cryonics: #481 - #489 Comments re Greg Fahy's additions: I explored the issue of the amount of money raised with Carlos today. It's great that the fundraising dinner actually moved some of those who were there to provide much more than had been raised at the beginning; but up until the beginning of the dinner, $2000 had been raised, total. I felt then and feel now that we simply cannot rely on a few generous individuals --- though again, I'm glad those few came up with even more after the issues were explained to them. Greg's research looks very good. My account of it came from my scanty notes, which I wasn't able to check with Greg; and I didn't want to put in anything which I wasn't completely sure he had said. As for the generous individuals: if we have 250 suspension members then that makes about $60 each, average. Not a large amount. I hope that people will be more willing to contribute to such research in the future; we're likely to find many other issues to be solved along the way.
