X-Message-Number: 9993 From: "William J. Unroch" <> Subject: Why people don' join Date: Mon, 6 Jul 1998 08:32:52 -0400 Your analysis of why people don't sign up is absurd. Most people are selfish, love themselves, and would do anything to stay alive. The REASON people don't sign up is very simply that you have provided no evidence that the process works and that they can be unfrozen when the time comes. The average person views cryonics as a bunch of fringe quacks. Believe me once the technology evolves to the stage where it is PROVEN that people can be brought back and are being brought back everyone will sign up for cryonics in 5 minutes. Atheists will be delighted to do it and the religious types will find a reason why cryonics is God's will. It is simply a matter of credibility of the people running cryonics and proof that it works. After that every mortuary in the US will be a cryonics center very quickly. The ONLY thing you should worry about is actually bringing someone back. Once you have done that and the word gets out the rest will be easy. All the philosophical BS is BS. Show proof it works and EVERYONE WILL GO FOR IT.
