BPI's area of expertise is in the biology and cryobiology of cryonics. We are learning a great deal about reversible models of ischemic injury, hypothermic perfusion and cryoinjury. I think we are quite good in some of these areas and will be good in all of them soon. Surely, what even the dullest of us can see is that, quite naturally, groups have specialized along the lines of their expertise and talents. This is to be expected and is healthy.
People can trade expertise and benefit from each other.
But I remain open to it, and I will continue to make entres and suggestions as long as I reasonably can. Even though you may feel the bad outweighs the good, in most relationships you are not required to take the whole menu. Try to pick and choose where you can. While I may not trust my life to them, I do not feel that Hugh Hixon, Scott Herman, Steve Bridge, Mike Perry and many others at Alcor are idiots or are incapable of making real, lasting, and meaningful contributions to cryonics. I hope they feel the same way about me.
