Subject: Prometheus Project Update

     Another pledge of $2,000 per year for all ten years has come in from
Cameron Neuman of Winnipeg whose wife Marta, a nurse, I got to know when
she took the BPI Transport Technician Training course in September. The
subject line of Cameron's email note to me was "Time to cough up". So the
yearly pledge total now stands at $326,100 for all ten years. It's getting
mighty close to one-third.

     In other news, I have been in correspondence with Brian Delaney who
started sci.life-extension. He is soon to be incorporating a non-profit and
501(c)3 organization to fund life-extension research and for the purpose of
having an organization which is independent of any manufacturer to runs
quality control type assays, and to report on life-extension nutrients. He
has readily agreed to accept donation pledges (and later payments) for the
Prometheus Project and to give receipts for these. He will let us all know
when he has his organization set up and has acquired 501(c)3 status.

     Readers may remember that Loren Hardy of the World Humanitarian
Resources Network made the previous pledge and wrote an inspiring note
about the Project. Now Loren has made the following offer:

He will trade pledges for web site hosting, design and advertizing
services. He will give the purchaser a receipt for services which can be
used as a business expense tax deduction when the payments are made. He is
even willing to start the services immediately, *before* pledge payments
are even made (how's that for confidence in the Project!). And he will, in
addition, give the share voting proxy to the pledger. This expenses tax
deduction method could also work for individual donors who have trusts set
up.

     Loren Hardy may be contacted at:  and his web
site address which has a very extensive cryonics page and will soon have a
life-extension page is: http://www.nu-world.com/~whc. I urge everyone to
check out his site.
