Yeah, taking away CoB was somewhat ill-conceived in hindsight. I've suggested an alternative solution to the Cloud of Blades problem, and I hope TM uses it in future scenarios. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

quote:On the other hand, a cure for being frozen solid might take a little longer to come along... quote:Well, not necessarily. Presumably you wouldn't just leave your money squirrelled away in an account somewhere, but instead you'd put it in a trust fund or something which would invest it and thereby prevent inflation from eating it away. On the other hand, that's still not a guarantee; if there's a stockmarket or currency crash, or a fundamental change in the way society handles property, you could still lose everything. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

A little tact goes a long way, you know. Anyway, we've discussed this before but I do have a few more ideas. Consider what a cryonically suspended person already knew when he chose the procedure: he would be bequeathing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cryonics company in his will, and he would do this with no guarantee he would ever be revived. And if he did reawaken, it would most likely be into a world in which everyone he knew was long dead. What was his life like before his suspension? What motivated him to be suspended -- simply a desire to prolong his life, or perhaps to see the future? How did he get the money -- was he rich before his death, or did he have to sell everything he owned to afford suspension? Did he have any surviving family members at the time of his death? If so, did they object to his decision? In his pre-suspension life, did he leave any legacy on the world that is still around after his reanimation?

quote:This would work well enough; the problem is that storing all sperm for 6 months before it could be used would be a considerable added expense for sperm banks, especially since a significant proportion of donors would likely fail to show up for the retest and so their sperm would have to be discarded.

quote:It's generally already the case that a wide variety of information about donors is available -- not enough to identify them by name, but plenty of personal information nonetheless. In any case, confidentiality isn't the primary issue here: if homosexuals are going to be banned from donating in the first place, the issue of whether prospective sperm bank customers should be able to know which donors are homosexual becomes a moot point. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun!

It's worth noting that the rhythm method is only acceptable if the intention is to space out the timing of births a little better, not to prevent procreation altogether. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

quote:No, it really is "no sex without babies", for the most part. According to Catholic theology, the sexual act exists primarily for the purpose of conception.
