Re: Several points.

>>Some people are attracted to cryonics because it's 'strange' and appeals to their desire to overcome the limits of humanity. But most people do not operate like that at all.

>You don't know this. You're just guessing.

I am quite sure that most people are not futurists or transhumanists. It's quite likely to me that cryonics will benefit from adding all the bells and whistles that people associate with real life.

>Frankly if the economy was better & more people could afford experiments like cryonics we'd see who was actually interested.

C'mon. Cryonics is not that expensive if you fund it with (term)life insurance. The only group of people who could really benefit from more affordable cryonics are the elderly who cannot execute life insurance any longer.

Offering an inexpensive neuro option, as Jordan Sparks seems to be thinking about for Oregon Cryonics, may help a lot in this regard. I hope he reconsiders his "next of kin" funding option though. That worries me a lot more than establishing individual trusts (which I support).
