[extropy-chat] The Martinot situation - from [GRG] French Cryonics Prohibition

[Robert Bradbury]

Some of you may recall our discussion of the Martinot situation in the
past.  Here is the latest update.

Interesting that the justification was "the interests of public order and
public health".

Yes, public "health" certainly might suffer if the population came to
realize that all of the people one has allowed to "die" could have been
saved and I suppose public "order" might suffer if religions as a group came
to realize that they didn't have the exclusive "lock" on life after death
anymore.  But I'd *love* to see that reasoning spelled out in writing.

Will be interesting to see what the final outcome is.

But I don't see cryosuspension becoming remotely commonplace
until there is some demonstration of reanimation.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
