<BODY>The Spanish Cryonics Society (<A
href="http://www.criogenizacion.org/">SEC</A>) is a non profit Society whose aim
is: "to gather all interested persons, and to promote all activities deemed
appropriate to achieve, through medical and scientific means, extending or
suspending human life while preserving the identity of the person as well as all
his physical and mental skills.<BR>To achieve this aim, the following activities
are performed:<BR>Supporting the investigation and the application of all
current and future medical and scientific means that may permit achieving the
objectives stated;<BR>Facilitating the approval by the Spanish Law of all means
which may permit achieving the objectives stated;<BR>Promoting collaboration
with Health Authorities, as well as with medical and scientific societies,
nationally and worldwide;<BR>An important objective of the Society is ensuring
that everyone who has been treated is protected, when appropriate, with
biological and legal means to maintain suitable conditions for his preservation,
until Science permits his complete recovery." (translated from Spanish by yours
truly).<BR>I attended a SEC meeting in Madrid on December 6, 2003. We decided to
relaunch the activities of the Society, in particular in terms of spreading
awareness of cryonics in Spain, establishing contacts with life insurance
providers, establishing a solid Internet presence, developing a media strategy,
and solving all issues related to Spanish Law and Health Authorities. The
Society will offer advice to all members and interested persons for
understanding cryonic science, technologies and procedures, contacting cryonic
service providers such as <A href="http://www.alcor.org/">Alcor</A> and the <A
href="http://www.cryonics.org/">Cryonics Institute</A>, selecting suitable life
insurance terms, and solving all issues related to Spanish Law and Health
Authorities. All developments will be posted to the website of the <A
href="http://www.criogenizacion.org/">SEC</A>.<BR>The Spanish Cryonics Society
wishes to develop collaborations with all the main players in the field of
cryonics. In the next few days SEC officers will begin contacting cryonicists
individually.</BODY></HTML>
