A friend asked me what evidence a cryonics organization could provide
that it was actually keeping the bodies of its members.

That is, what auditing procedures (for the bodies, not just the finances)
are done?  Are there independent auditors?

After all, the dewars are opaque (i suppose), and if one were suspended,
one might not want one's dewar to be opened for a stranger to inspect.

If there are no auditors, how can a cryonics organization both
promise privacy to the suspendees and also prove to
potential clients that is keeping frozen bodies, and will keep theirs?

Of course, i'm absolutely not making any suggestions about any particular
organization.
