EXPANDING THE “RIGHT TO LIFE” CONCEPT TO COVER LIFE PRESERVATION AND LIFE EXTENSION SPECIFICALLY 10. 12. 2009 Danila Medvedev, Krio. Rus, Russia

First a Present for You Thank you for coming! I have a gift for you; it’s a book: Medical-Legal Aspects of Cryonics, G. P. Smith (1983) www. kriorus. ru/legal-aspects

Introduction Part I

I Want to Say That Cryonics can be legalized. We should begin by defending our rights to practice it. This may eventually lead to recognition of the right to extend life.

Status Quo Cryonics is de facto legal Legally it’s not cryonics whole body donation, funeral, embalmment, etc. Cryonics is not

What We Want Cryonics is de jure legal Protection for cryonics… arrangements quality practitioners

The Approach Hijack “Right-to-life” term It is important is undefined means bad things right

Right-to-life Everyone has it. But what is it? It’s a hugely complex legal and philosophical question. As immortalists we are in the unique position to answer it!

The Idea is to Raise Hell… defend our rights! Awareness… what the heck is “right to life” after all? The Issue… cryonics should be legally protected! The dead (TBD)

Right to Extend Life Part III

Up the Ante (concept) 2010: A Conference. A Declaration. Talk about the missing definition for “right to life” UN, EU, Russia, media, experts.

Get on the Agenda Right to extend life must be gotten on the agenda. Our framework: problem + policy + politics

The Problem Stream Life extension gets more attention every day. PR can focus that attention on the right-tolife issue.

The Policy Stream We can start locally Sanitary regulations in Latvia Cryotransportation norms Cryonics industry best practices Extension to funeral laws A separate law on cryonics somewhere International laws on cryonics and life extension

The Politics Stream Let’s hope some politicians will “get it”. Nazarbaev? Co-operation with pressure groups can help. We need legitimization* for that.

*Legitimization Partners and stakeholders Insurance, bank, cryobank SM Integrated Recovery

What We Expect Life Extension is not just right. It’s a right. st See the 1 Amendment to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Conclusion Part IV

Summary We start an NGO, it opens a LE hotline and protects the rights of cryonicists We try to clarify the “right to life” We get right to extend life on the global agenda We work to get support for it

Conclusion There is a feasible strategy to legalize cryonics starting with human rights defense and ending with legal recognition of the right to extend life.
