Subject: Funding research now

Almost everything In Wakfer's post yesterday (# 6916) is mind-numbingly false
or misleading. But we have probably reached the point of diminishing returns,
and tit for detailed tat will not be worth the effort. In fact, I have almost
concluded that attention to Cryonet is worth much less than the time it
takes, and may soon unsubscribe (with apologies and thanks to Dr. Brown and
other good people involved).

CI, IS, and Alcor and their people, past and present, have produced MOST of
what has been accomplished in cryonics. Wakfer thinks this isn't much, and
that without him cryonics is "bankrupt," but we still have most of the people
and most of the patients. I think many people in and out of our organizations
will feel comfortable with our opinion that donations to the Immortalist
Society and the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, right now, are likely to pay
off handsomely in quick and significant advances, based on the Visser
technology. 

Please send separate checks to the Immortalist Society and the Alcor Life
Extension Foundation, memo "Research Fund."
