Subject: re: who will revive you
Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 11:28:46 -0500

On this subject ....
  I take the view that I will (hopefully) be revived by
my future "cellves". With the near-term feasibility of
adult cloning via nucleur transfer and the financial
economies inherent in being a single parent whose
offspring are clones of one's self.... 
  I think I take a reasonable position that the founder
of a clone family might reasonably expect to be Thawed
by his/her descendants, if only for sentiments sake.
  Zavos and company are going to bring this method
into financial feasability VERY soon. Down to the
present price of IVF and similar tech.
  This is not a slam on Alcor or CI, I am finishing up my
cryo insurance paperwork and will be chatting with Alcor 
next... but I don't intend to leave my Chilled self hanging
out in a cryovat with other targets for the crazies. I'll put it
in the family basement! And that in a (nearly)nuke-proof
geodesic, off-the-power-grid, smack dab in the middle of lots
of near-wilderness acreage. And hopefully (at least some of)
my descendants for generations will be vacationing there
and keeping the Flame. 
  Obviously this solution is much more workable for
a young single professional without present children
who expects a six figure income in a decade or two.
  
 I like unorthodox solutions to problems..what can I say...:)
