Dear Cryonet folks:

I should add that I am also an sf writer (not a `sci-fi' writer, shudder)
who's written approvingly about cryonics--as in my latest novel
TRANSCENSION--but I'm not signed up either. Why not? Too ancient for cheap
insurance, too poor, too distant, in Australia, from the few moderately
reliable cryonics installations in the USA, too likely to be found rotting
a week after I've died alone in the house (my partner Barbara usually lives
thousands of miles distant), too unconvinced that revival processes will
work with corpses vitrified using today's methods. But if I suddenly
stumble upon a few million dollars, I think I'd take the option.
