CRYONICS TOPICS   

                                        by Ben Best   

I currently hold several formal cryonics positions: Director of the Cryonics Institute, Director of the Cryonics Society of Canada and President of the Institute For Neural Cryobiology.

I have contributed to the CryoNet and New CryoNet discussion groups, but now very rarely.   

A classified list of my CryoNet messages can be found at the CryoNet Archive   

Some of my cryonics writings are on the Web Home page of the Cryonics Society of Canada
