Ralph Merkle, researcher in nanotechnology at Xerox Palo Alto Research
Center (Xerox PARC) will address a special meeting of the Alcor
Foundation on Sunday, April 28th at 5:00 PM. The subject of his talk
will be "Nanotechnology and Prospects For Immortality".

The meeting will be held at the 72nd Street Studio - 131 West 72nd
Street, New York City. Admission is open to the public at a cost of
$4.00.

Describing the event to me for an article I did on the event, Charles
Platt, science fiction author and a member of Alcor, said "Merkle is
one of the country's foremost experts on nanotechnology and molecular
machines. This is a science of particular interest to those involved in
cryonics as the Alcor Foundation is. Nanotechnology allows the
manipulation of things at the molecular level and provides promise of
being extremely important in the restoration of brain damage that may
be caused by Cryonics' freezing and unfreezing processes."

Cryonics is the process under which people are frozen at the time of
death and unfrozen at a point in time when a cure has been developed for
the fatal illness or accident damage causing death.
