The magazine "New Zealand Doctor" carried an article "Death is not 
terminal: God Invented Freezers" concerning cryonics. The author wrote 
under a pen name "Retractor" and apparently communicated with someone by 
the name of Mike on the Internet to gather his information.

he compared cryonicists with explorers, and the article was jokey but 
reasonably balanced. It ended with ".. as happens with most things you 
become educated about, I decided that freezers are not nutters but 
pioneers. The whole shooting box is like the space programme, and no doubt 
will have important spinoffs."

Unfortunately the article provided no contact points and erroneously stated 
that cryonics was not available in Australasia, but that there is a 
"special interest society" in Australia. However the link to the Internet 
would probably put interested people right.
