When Arizona State Representative Bob Stump tried to introduce a Bill that would regulate cryonics he received a series of threatening emails and phone calls.  One phone call so severe he turned it over to the police.  In this article (below) Bob Stump is quoted as saying "he has received demeaning messages from Alcor supporters, and one call was forwarded to Capitol Police."

Dispute Swirls Around Bill Regulating Cryonics

By Phil Riske
Arizona Capital Times

Negotiations on a bill that calls for state regulation of Alcor Life Extension Foundation apparently have broken down.

Rep. Bob Stump, R-9, sponsor of H2637, on March 11 disputed an e-mail sent to House members by Alcor’s lobbyist Barry Aarons. Mr. Aarons urged lawmakers to vote against the bill because Alcor had not been provided amendments he said were promised, and that the cryonics company and the state funeral board “have a verbal understanding that assures the funeral board will conduct oversight of Alcor’s records…” and keep them confidential.

Mr. Aaron’s letter said the agreement with the funeral board, which under the bill would oversee the cryonics company, was made regardless of whether the legislation passes.

“The funeral board and Alcor have come to this decision amicably,” Mr. Aarons wrote. “The bill is a solution without a problem.”

Funeral Board Director Rudy Thomas has maintained that Alcor’s records should be examined to ensure that the company, which preserves human remains in liquid nitrogen, follows requirements of federal and state Anatomical Gift acts, and that laws governing the treatment of dead bodies are followed.

The House Health Committee gave the bill a do-pass recommendation Feb. 26.

In his response to Mr. Aarons, Mr. Stump says the committee record proves there was no assurance that “a list of amendments” would be included in the final version of the bill, and he denied there was a verbal agreement between Alcor and the board.

Mr. Stump also said he has received demeaning messages from Alcor supporters, and one call was forwarded to Capitol Police.

“Your client and their supporters have stepped up yet again to impugn my integrity,” Mr. Stump wrote to Mr. Aarons.

Alcor stores the frozen remains of 61 people at its Scottsdale facility, including the head of baseball star Ted Williams. A Boston Globe report that the body of Mr. Williams' 35-year-old son was taken to Alcor has not been confirmed. John Henry Williams died March 6 in Los Angeles of leukemia. —
