What will it take to bring the Northern and Southern California cryonics groups into a state of cooperation and harmony? We have lived with this question for some seventeen years now, and a solution has never seemed more remote than at the present.

For those of us who have been more intimately involved with the difficulties, the frustrations have been even greater. An attempt to examine this question, even with the length of experience and involvement we bring to it, is necessarily limited. Nonetheless, the alternative is to simply ignore the issue.
