X-Message-Number: 7332 From: ( RON SELKOVITCH) Date: Sat, 21 Dec 1996 00:55:08, -0500 Subject: Re: Forever Young Success - Thomas Donaldson had his letter published in the Times. I guess Olaf Henny was not so naive after all, and my confidence in Time has been restored. (I have been a subscriber for 30 years). They did publish the article, which was positive about longevity and,of course, Donaldson's letter was positive on Cryonics. What has Newsweek done for us ?. I'm sure that Donaldson won't mind if I reproduce his letter here: <<The fundamental idea driving cryonics, the freezing of the body referred to in your report, comes from the observation that frozen tissue will remain unchanged literally for thousands of years. When today's doctors declare you "dead," they have basically decided that you suffer from an incurable condition, one that no future medicine will ever be able to reverse. But what about the things medicine will be able to do in the future? Cryonics is for those illnesses we don't yet know how to cure. Cryonics is available now if you want it.
