The Life Preservation and Continuation Society is a community of people from all walks of life who share a common bond, the profound reverence for life in all its varied forms. Our general purpose is to perfect scientifically proven, medical methods by which human life at all its stages, and animal life in all its many forms may be biologically interrupted before impending death, transformed into a state where deterioration cannot occur, expertly cared for in a place of high security, and later, when the time is right, enabled to startup and continue life with renewed health and vitality. The founders and supporters of the Life Preservation and Continuation Society believe that the only currently realizable method of preserving individual lives is long-term, fully-reversible suspended animation at a sufficiently low temperature that all biological activity is halted. Once this procedure is developed and proven, we intend to make it available to terminal patients everywhere as an elective operation.
While the goal of standard medicine is to cure disease and allow all people to live out their lives in good health, it is clear to most that this enormous task can never be completed. The reality of the world is that there will always be disease processes which are beyond the powers of the best that the medicine of the time has to offer, and which will continue to cause the death of the patient if they are allowed to proceed. What we seek is a method to allow those patients who wish to live, a chance to chose between life and death. To do this we need to develop and implement a proven, reversible, medically accepted, long-term stabilization procedure which is available to patients everywhere and electable before legal death.
Our method of saving life is not only different from that of every religion in that we propose to save the life of the body as well as the spirit, but is fully compatible with every religion's command - and nature's first instinct - to stay alive in corporeal form, or in this life cycle, for as long as possible. To some our goal may appear radical - and it certainly is revolutionary - however, we believe that our purpose is simply the ultimate implementation of a doctor's Hippocratic oath: never do harm to anyone. The long-term stabilization of life will provide society and medical science with the required time to find solutions to the problems which caused the need for that stabilization in the first place.
The Life Preservation and Continuation Society seeks to reach, and to unit in common purpose all those who wish to promote our great cause and believe that our methods can and must succeed. Each supporter has been drawn to the Society by an interest in one or more specific life preservation purposes, and other applications of the preservation methods which we will develop. Within the Life Preservation and Continuation Society, in order to promote this purpose, they have joined with others who have such diverse and normally unrelated interests as:
To achieve our prime purpose of preserving the lives of terminal humans, the Life Preservation and Continuation Society will promote the funding of the scientific research and development necessary to achieve the long-term preservation of human life in a manner which at any time allows restoration of both the body and the mind to full functionality. The Life Preservation and Continuation Society does not itself plan to do the research to perfect this suspended animation, but will encourage supporters to direct their funds to certain scientific R&D organizations which have the knowledge, facilities and personnel to make significant strides towards this long-term goal, and are currently pursuing closely allied research.
While the research to perfect suspended animation is in progress, both in order to attract more funding so that research may proceed faster to its successful conclusion, and to prepare society for the revolutionary changes which this research will bring about, we hope to conduct a major outreach and educational program concerning the idea of perfected suspended animation, its value for preserving life in general, and its value for preventing the premature termination of individual human lives in particular.
Later, as we near the end of this lengthy research effort, the Life Preservation and Continuation Society will need to be concerned about the implementation of perfected suspended animation as accepted medical practice. For that purpose, it may be necessary for us to lead the process of devising, drafting and presenting medical and legal changes which will allow this proven technology to become an elective medical operation available to terminal patients at major hospitals throughout the world.
A second major goal of the Life Preservation and Continuation Society involves those not yet fully developed lives which are daily being terminated before having a chance at life. We refer here to the vast numbers of elective abortions which are occurring world wide. While the founders of the Life Preservation and Continuation Society are "pro-choice" in that we believe that a women does have the right to remove the developing fetus from her body, we are also "pro-life" in as much as we value the life-in-being of the human which the fetus has the potential to become. We also believe that it should be the aim of all those who truly cherish life to try to end this conflict of fundamental values which is so divisive to our society at the present time.
The founders of the Life Preservation and Continuation Society think that the proper solution to this problem is to develop methods to remove the fetus undamaged, and to preserve it by methods which will allow it to be reimplanted later to continue its human development. Only in this manner can every fetus be given a chance to reach its full human potential. By developing and implementing this technology, we believe that not only will a fundamental conflict of values in society be ended, but the mother of the fetus will be saved from enormous trauma by having a second and perhaps more realistic way to choose life for her developing child instead of the current limited choice of death or unwanted parenthood. As a result of this research and its practical availability each woman will be enabled to delay the choice of whether to abandon her fetus or to bear and raise the child, until she is ready. We believe that this new choice will be a real and moral choice, something which women do not currently enjoy.
We invite you to join with us and all our supporters in dedication to the task of making our ideals become reality.
