CAN CRYONICS SAVE YOUR LIFE?

If you're interested in life extension and cryonics, book off the evening of
Wednesday, February 26, 2003 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

The Toronto Transhumanist Association is pleased to sponsor a talk by
cryonics expert Ben Best on the topic, "Can Cryonics Save Your Life?"

Proponents of cryonics claim that low-temperature preservation of recently
deceased persons may allow them to benefit from a future technology that has
cured all disease and can rejuvenate people to a condition of everlasting
youth.

Best will discuss recent technical advances that are making cryonics
increasingly feasible. He will also address the controversy surrounding the
desirability of cryonics if it proves feasible and discuss existing cryonics
organizations.

Best is a Director of the Cryonics Society of Canada, a Director of the
Cryonics Institute and President of the Institute for Neural Cryobiology.

The event will be held in downtown Toronto at the Parliament library, 269
Gerrard Street East.

Admission is free, but seating is limited. If you are interested please
contact George Dvorsky at george@betterhumans.com to reserve your space.
