Subject: Re: CRYONICS mailing list #83 - future possibilities Status: R Projections of future societies, even if miraculously correct, at best describe a temporary stage in the development of humanity. Some other society/culture will have preceeded it, yet another will follow it. The point is, if you don't like the weather, stick around. Things will be different tomorrow, and again the day after that. As to why people will reanimate corpsicles, I suggest they will do it for the same reason they provide medical care to the sick and fund research on cures for fatal diseases: because they will want the same services for themselves in the event they need them, and because of the good neighbor principle. People are even willing to go to Alaska to save a few oily otters. --alan\@pdn Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=85
