X-Message-Number: 6584 Date: 22 Jul 96 03:04:58 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 21, 1996, the total of pledges is $150,000.00 per year for each of 10 years. A $1,000.00 per year pledge was received from Ben Best who announced it in a Cryonet/sci.cryonics message. Pledge totals in each category are now: 10 for $10,000.00 per year for 10 years, 5 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, 2 for $2,000.00 per year for 10 years, 14 for $1,000.00 per year for 10 years. The 33 pledges total $1,500,000.00 over all ten years. Robin Helweg-Larsen expressed support for the idea of encouraging some national pledging rivalry. So I will from now on list the total yearly pledge by country and, after I get current population figures, the per capita amount. Pledge totals per year by national origin: Australia $2,500.00 Canada $22,000.00 France $2,000.00 United States $118,500.00 No country $5,000.00 If any pledger thinks I might have their pledge under the wrong country, please let me know. I am *still* looking for some larger pledges. I *know* that there are some dedicated and very serious cryonicists who earn sufficient money and have not uttered a peep since this project began. Please, if you don't agree with my arguments and my logic, let me know. With all the conditions on the pledge which have to be satisfied before any pledge becomes a binding contract, I just don't understand what's holding you back. Remaining silent does none of us any good. If I don't starting getting some more action very soon, then I will have to name these people and *directly* request them to pledge or give me good reasons why not. -- Paul -- !!!!! REVERSIBLE BRAIN CRYOPRESERVATION *CAN* BE ACHIEVED IN 10 YEARS !!!!!
