Cryonics Oregon

Oregon cryonicists!

Our next meeting will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 28, 2010, at Deschutes Brewery in NW Portland. Attending will be Gregory Jordan, organizer of the Central Florida cryonics / life extension group. Let’s all come out and make him feel welcome!

We will be discussing topics of interest such as Alcor’s new Readiness Coordinator, Steve Graber, and our plans for coordinating training sessions this Fall. Please come ready with any ideas or questions you may have been harboring and we will hash them out over some good food and great beer!

Please note that Deschutes is a family-friendly establishment, so minors are welcome at all hours. Deschutes is located at:

210 NW 11th Avenue
Portland, OR 97209

On June 6th the next Cryonics Oregon meeting will coincide with a downtown Portland aging conference. As a result we have been successful in persuading Cryonics Institute President Ben Best and Alcor member and biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey to attend our meeting. The theme of the evening will be “Strategies for Life extension and Rejuvenation: A Discussion with Aubrey de Grey and Ben Best.”

Dr. Aubrey de Grey will present a brief synopsis of his Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS) for regeneration and rejuvenation. Ben Best will reply with his view of shortcomings of the SENS approach, and how these shortcomings can be addressed. Discussion will include such matters as biomarkers of aging, mechanisms of aging, use of dietary supplements and the relevance of cryonics.

Date:  Sunday, June 6, 2010
Time: 7:30pm – 10:00pm
Location: Roots Organic Brewing
Address: 1520 SE 7TH, Portland, OR

This will be no ordinary Cryonics Oregon meeting! Promotional materials from Alcor, CI, and SENS will be there as well.

To cover the rent of the space a minimum donation of $5.00 per person will be collected.

Attendees under 21 are allowed until 10:00 pm.

It is very important for everyone to RSVP as soon as you know if you can make it or not so we can get a good idea of attendance.

Cryonicists (and those considering cryonics) in the Portland, Oregon, and surrounding areas are invited to attend the next regular meeting of Cryonics Oregon (details below).

We have added several names to our email list in recent months and are excited about the growing community of cryonicsts in the Pacific Northwest. Come out for some great tea, tea-infused cocktails, and a light meal at The Tea Zone & Camellia Lounge on 11th Avenue in the Pearl District of Portland. Mingle with other members of cryonics organizations to discuss and help plan future events in our region. We hope to see many old and new faces!
