Bush's Advisers on Biotechnology Express Concern on Its Use
By NICHOLAS WADE

"...The council's message is that neither commerce nor
science, despite their utility, should be allowed to dictate a reshaping of
human nature."

Beneficial biotech is not being shoved down our collective throats by
science or business -- we're demanding it! In the USA, we have a
Constitutional right to the pursuit of "life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness." Biotech can help us to achieve these.

If any group is attempting to dictate the shape of human nature, it's the
narrow-minded (im)moralists on Bush's biotech board who appear to celebrate
death, disease and the continuance of human unhappiness.

The second issue of the magazine, PHYSICAL IMMORTALITY, is about to be mailed 
out.  This issue has introductory information for readers who might be new to 
cryonics and the prospect of physical immortality, and information for advanced 
cryofolks.  This issue also includes a full page ad for Alcor and the Cryonics 
Institute, along with full color pictures on nanotechnolgy and other 
interesting information you won't find anywhere else.

This issue, 4th quarter 2003, will be available in magazine stands and 
bookstores throughout the USA.  If you don't see it on display, please ask your 
magazine/book store to order it for you. (our address is below).  You are going 
to like this magazine and what its success can do for the cryonics movement.

Our third issue, (First Quarter 2004) is the one we are starting to work on 
now.  If you have a submission, send it to our editor, Mike Perry.  We are
