X-Message-Number: 6460 Date: 07 Jul 96 04:34:40 EDT From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Reply to Steve Bridge Steve did me the courtesy of sending me a copy of what he had posted to Cryonet today. That is why I am able to reply on the same compendium. >2. Contrary to some people's impressions, Paul's posting (along with >a simultaneous letter to me) was the FIRST time Alcor had heard of >this project. Actually the messages about the announcement were sent to all the cryonics organizations several hours before the Cryonet mail blast, but I admit, it was late in the evening even by Arizona time. I plead guilty to hastening things because I didn't want to lose momentum after the amazing response of reaching pledges of over $100K per year for 10 years in just over a week. > We cannot decide whether or not to support it without >knowing more about it. (I am sending questions to Paul today also.) I have answered all Steve's questions by private mail and by referring him to the published Prometheus Project descriptive text. If there are more questions please let me know. >3. As Alcor's President, I cannot commit Alcor to such a Project >without discussion with the Board of Directors. Since they ALSO just >saw this for the first time, this will take a bit of time. I certainly understand Steve. Take as much time as you need. What the project really needs from Alcor is a commitment to direct any project donation pledges it receives to the project. Of course, a supportive mention in your magazine _Cryonics_ would also be very much appreciated and would help to increase the chances of a second life cycle for all your many members. >4. This message is not intended to disparage Paul's hard work or his >ideas. I am encouraged to see this effort taking place. It is >merely to inform you all why Alcor's response has been delayed. Thanks for the support and encouragement. !!!!! REVERSIBLE BRAIN CRYOPRESERVATION *CAN* BE ACHIEVED IN 10 YEARS !!!!!
