Brian Wowk, CEO of CryoCare, writes: > I actually wrote you privately to save *you* from public embarrassment > over your outrageous statements.

You contacted me back-channel to try to shut me up while your Vice President, Charles Platt, was frantically putting up post after post in response to my analyses of the Prometheus Project. I at first responded to the questions in your e-mail at length and then got hit with more, forcing me to call a halt to the exchange. I was indeed under tight deadline pressures. What you call "public insinuations" involved pointing out how CryoCare and LEF would end up owning shares - all thanks to donated funds - in the for-profit corporation whose formation was one goal of the Prometheus Project. I pointed out that even if the Corporation went bankrupt, the 10 million dollars the Prometheus Project planned to raise from donors would indeed get spent - and that this would directly benefit LEF and CryoCare. That goes a long way beyond "insinuation." You write, on your supposed disinvolvement in cryonics research: > I do MRI research for a living, funded by > the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. I live 1500 miles away > from the nearest cryonics research facility. Why don't you take > your pathetic insinuations to alt.paranoid.fantasy where they > belong. Brian, you are listed as "Patient Care Director" and "Chief Executive Officer" of CryoCare. CryoCare's homepage describes you as "author on numerous technical articles on cryonics" and "team leader for the first human cryopreservation performed in Canada." Are you claiming that you have abandoned cryonics research - and hence that you and CryoCare *wouldn't* benefit from the 10 million dollars in funds sought for the Prometheus Project?
