Thanks David for inserting this bit of sanity. One item that needs to be
said here, is that it is ultimately the members responsibility to prepare
for his/her own suspension and deal with these family problems. The bad
press that comes from Alcor's public battles with occasional failures, not
to mention the money issues, is incredibly dangerous for us all, whether or
not it ever becomes possible to reconstruct a badly decomposed body and
brain.  The thinking at Alcor may be that any publicity is better than none,
but that is not so, especially in this fractious age. We should stop this
and let our contracts reflect that it is the members responsibility to
deliver him or herself to the suspension team without family strings
attached. Dr. Robert Newport

Life is short: Freeze hard!

"The man
Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys.
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches; and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and of the human frame
A mechanized automaton."

Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Queen Mab"
