Is cryonics a good bet?
What mostly accurately represents your stance on the possibility that someone cryonically suspended in the next 10 years will be successfully brought back to life sometime in the next 100 years?

Voting is now open for the policy of Disownment http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?action=voteIndex as documented at http://virus.lucifer.com/wiki/Disownment. Study of the discussions held on the policy are also available from the above referenced page.
The vote will remain active until a 60% or greater majority accepting or rejecting the policy is achieved, or until the number of votes and abstainments together make it impossible to establish a 60% position.
Members of the CoV are again reminded that they can establish their voting eligibility by establishing a reputation at http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?action=repIndex and are requested to update their reputation voting if they have not done so since the counters were reset.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. - Steven Weinberg, 1999

My vote comments don't display, presumably because of the space in my login name. So, since I wanted to comment on the Transvision vote, I'll post that comment here if you don't mind.
I am a frequent attendee of conventions including science fiction and gaming conventions. I'm also very active in volunteering for them and running them. I would dearly love to attend a Transhumanist convention, especially since this one in Toronto is within driving distance. This weekend, for instance, I'm attending Balticon in Baltimore Maryland and that's farther away. However, the price of Transvision is quadruple the highest price I've ever paid for a convention membership, and on top of that I'd have to get a hotel room, so for financial reasons I can't attend. I wonder if the organizers are familiar with the shoestring methods of running all-volunteer not-for-profit conventions.

He believed in a door. The door was the way to... to... The Door was The Way. Good. Capital letters were always the best way of dealing with things you didn't have a good answer to.
