How does losing $55 for each person who signs up for this extra serve the future of cryonics? Personally, I'd like to see cryonics funds spent where they do the most good. How many people who can't afford high conference fees (or who hate getting ripped off even more than I do) are not going to attend this conference because you choose this glitzy venue?
