I have recently been able to locate and talk with Robert C.W. Ettinger personally.

He just introduced this book to me, and I now wish to share this great find with you!

The entire subject of Cryonics is currently based upon 'future' scientific medical discoveries, such as the advent of Nano-Technology!

If the new discoveries of medicine continue to exponentially increase, and if civilization continues to advance, then resolution of most any medical dilemma is quite plausible!!!

As to the cost ($$$), what would be the cost of immortality???

There is no such thing as a "Sure Thing" -- about anything in life; however, based upon the actual precedents being set within the medical fields, then the statistical odds increase toward possible solutions.

Some people have only been able to afford their 'head' frozen, and in the future it may become possible to grow a complete new body or just download the consciousness into a cybernetic organism!

Still personally, wouldn't want immortality. YIPES, life is touch enough once around.


Thanks "Sir Robert" will foward...

: 15 Scientific Justification of Cryonics Practice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the pronouncement of being clinically dead, thus legally dead, this does not in and of itself mean irreversibly dead!

Low temperature conditions have already been proven to virtually halt all chemical and tissue degeneration within the human body.

What is the cost for future scientific achievement and cultural advancement of the human race?

Can any price be too high for a stab at immortality?

The following is a deal at twice the price!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

> MEMBERSHIP FEES:

LIFETIME: $1,250 once
YEARLY: $120 per year

> MEMBERSHIP INITIATION:

LIFETIME: none
YEARLY: $75 once

> HUMAN CRYOPRESERVATION:

LIFETIME: $28,000
YEARLY: $35,000

(Human cryopreservation prices do not include "Local Help" cost for a funeral director or shipping, which can range from nothing in Michigan to $3,000 on the US west coast -- and more overseas.)

Membership gives the privilege of making arrangements for human cryopreservation, pet cryopreservation or tissue/DNA cryopreservaion.
