Eugene, please tell me what has to be done so cryonics in your view is NOT a religion! I really want to know.
Will the construction of the Timeship move us away from the "fringe science/religion" aspect? Or move us only closer, in a flashy Las Vegas way which will ultimately garner negative mass media attention?
I look forward to your answer.

John
