X-Message-Number: 6529 Date: 15 Jul 96 04:32:17 EDT From: Paul Wakfer <> Subject: Prometheus Project - Latest Total The Prometheus Project: Convincingly demonstrated, scientifically proven and published, fully reversible brain cryopreservation within 10 years. Latest Pledge Totals As of midnight EDT July 14, 1996, the total of pledges is $140,000.00 per year for each of 10 years. A $2000.00 per year pledge was received by private email from Ai Ling (see other post for my reply to his message), and $1000.00 per year pledge was made on Cryonet by Yvan Bozzonetti. My sincere appreciation go out to both of these pledgers for wanting to help themselves and the rest of us to greatly increase our chances at vastly extended life. Pledge totals in each category are: 10 for $10,000.00 per year for 10 years, 4 for $5,000.00 per year for 10 years, 1 for $4,000.00 per year for 10 years, 1 for $3,000.00 per year for 10 years, 1 for $2,000.00 per year for 10 years, 11 for $1,000.00 per year for 10 years. The 28 pledges total $1,400,000.00 over all ten years. Pledge Gathering and Project Planning Timetable My personal goal for this Project is to have it begin in early 1998. I believe that it will be, at least that long before the $1M per year in pledges are gathered, the scientific and business plans are fully formulated and the scientific and administrative teams are recruited. Therefore, those thinking about pledging should not think of whether they can afford the money now, but, instead to begin at the beginning of 1998 and continue for up to 10 years thereafter. The pledging needs to proceed at an average of under $2K/yr each day in order to have the project fully funded by the target date. Since it began (off the Net) on June 14, 1996, over the first 30 days we have averaged $4.6K per day and have averaged about $3.5K per day since going to the Net 11 days ago. My Plea for Your Rational Evaluation We're not talking charity here. We're not talking high-risk, high-return investments here. We're not talking new cars, fine restaurants, trips abroad, sexy new outfits. We're not even talking eye glasses, hearing aids or dental implants. We're talking about your most basic possession, that which enables you to want, to need, and to enjoy all others. We're talking about your LIFE! and about greatly enhancing your chances for a lot more. And I believe that we are *not* talking about an enhancement from 1% to 5%. No! I believe that we are talking about an enhancement from 1% to 90%! I'm convinced that this project is my and your best bet to do that and that's why I am ready to forgo all but the bare necessities of life for a period of 10 years if necessary. I believe that this greatly enhanced chance of vastly more life where I'll have all the time in the world to play, to read, to eat well, to have another family, to delve deeply into the foundations of physics, to do and to see countless wonders that I can't now imagine, is worth giving up a lot now. I am not asking as much of others. Each person must judge the worth of the now and the future according to their own system of values. What I am asking, is that you *do* judge the value of the enhanced chance that the execution of this project will give you and the relation of that value to a reduction in your present lifestyle, and then proceed to pledge the amount which will maximize your total life enjoyment. I can ask nothing more and you should want to pledge nothing less. -- Paul -- !!!!! REVERSIBLE BRAIN CRYOPRESERVATION *CAN* BE ACHIEVED IN 10 YEARS !!!!!
