Thanks, both. (I thought I'd sent an earlier email but it's not
showing up in my inbox.)
I hope it doesn't sound too horribly insensitive to say this, but if
anyone can think of a definite, confirmed, unamgiguous case of an
atheist sacrificing their life while being current in a cryo
arrangement, it would be the ultimate counterevidence to the "selfish
cryonicist" meme. I wish I didn't have to look for a completely
airtight case, but you know the kind of debaters we're up against.
I.e., "Maybe John Perry thought better of your damned crazy idea and
that's why he wasn't signed up any more."
