X-Message-Number: 930 From: Kevin Q. Brown Subject: Cryonics FAQ Needed Date: 26 Jun 1992 Subject: Cryonics FAQ Needed Message #0000 lists several files of interest to people who are new to cryonics but it does not have any single file of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). Such a file would be useful not only for new members of the cryonics mailing list but also, provided the vote succeeds, particularly useful for a new USENET sci.cryonics news group. The FAQ may be useful text to distribute among your favorite local BBSs, too. Pieces of a FAQ now are available on-line in several places: (1) message #50 - Death of Death in Cryonics (2) message #157 - Introduction to Cryonics (3) message #398 - Cryonics and Overpopulation (4) some of the Objections & Replies in message #0012 (48K bytes) (5) some of the sci.med objections and replies in messages #0006 (400K bytes) and #0011 (>500K bytes) Message #157, in particular, covers many of the topics needed for a FAQ. The extensive Question & Answer section in Alcor's publication "Cryonics : Reaching For Tomorrow" is a real gold-mine and the pamphlet "Cryonics and Christianity" has useful material, too. (Permission from Alcor and/or the authors for using that material will, of course, be needed.) The list of cryonics organizations and publications (message #0004) is not listed above because it is, I think, long enough that it requires a file separate from the FAQ. Also, a cryonics bibliography would be useful to have on-line. I am not going to write the FAQ myself, although I would be happy to help a few other people with the task. Are there any volunteers? Here is an opportunity for you to help raise the cryonics-consciousness of the electronic community and thereby become an internationally acknowledged cryonics FAQ-czar! Kevin Q.
