>1. In order to prevent overpopulation, I believe cryonicists should put off 
breeding if they have not already reproduced.

  The world is not overpopulated with cryonicists, but with other forms of 
life, mainly Third Worlders living in dictatorships funded by US aid. In fact 
the developed world is below a replacement birth rate in some areas. I do 
appreciate your tolerance for those people already erroneously born. 

>2. Cultural enclaves, where cryonicists live as in the 1990's/2000's and 
strictly forbid any form of other technology from entering that space, need 
to exist.

  Most cryonicists would prefer to live in enclaves containing better 
technology. You have cryonicists confused with the Amish. Of course many 
Amish are working as machinists and are higher-tech than I am; maybe I should 
have said Andaman Islanders.

PS I have a headache; can you tell? Sorry about the tone. Actually your idea 
of an enclave where people pay heavy taxes, never get better technology, and 
force their children to watch five hours of TV per day forever has the merit 
of being official US policy.
