Why UDHR Applies to Biostased Persons
Article 2: “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.”

Reason & Conscience”Not WithinScope Intent

If Intended, Why Don’t Cryonauts & Cybernauts Have Rights Now?
“…shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance…”

So, the UDHR Does Apply to Biostased Persons
• Biostased Persons Are Immanent Within the Intent of the Document
• Today Few People Are Persuaded That the Biostased Can Be Revived
• Hence Few People Believe There Is a Potential for “Reason & Conscience”
• Once This is Shown, the Full Panoply of Human Rights Will Progressively Follow
