CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS
Please look at Dr. Tandy's chapter-by-chapter summary of Robert Ettinger's classic, The Prospect of Immortality or consult the 1964 volume directly. Notice that Ettinger's book consists of eleven chapters devoted to the following eleven topics:
- Death's Reversibility
- Cooling Down
- Thawing Out
- Today's Choices
- Religious Issues
- Legal Issues
- Economic Issues
- Personal Identity
- Immortality's Usefulness
- Immortality's Ethics
- Immortality's Future
1. Read, with understanding, all eleven chapters of Robert Ettinger's Prospect of Immortality.
2. Determine which one chapter on which you wish to focus.
3. Consider how a new and up-to-date Ettinger or expert might write the chapter today so as to properly persuade readers to cryonics. Write a chapter proposal (but NOT yet a draft paper) aimed at updating and/or revising the chapter of your choice.
4. Submit your chapter proposal, along with your cv/resume, to Charles Tandy, Ph.D. at <cetandy@gmail.com>.
