I really don't know how you got that from what I said,
but you're misrepresenting my position in the
statement above. I originally responded to someone who
was wondering what would happen if cryonics worked
before the aging problem was solved. I proposed that
coroners might then revise the criteria for legal
death and decline to issue death certificates until
the person was truly "irretrievable" which would mean
that the life insurance policies currently used to
fund cryonics would have to be replaced by
health/medical insurance policies of some kind. Iggy
recommended that I not worry about not being able to
use some kind of insurance to fund cryonics in the
future in a recent post. To Iggy: I didn't mean to
imply that I'm at all worried about that. To Thomas: I
personally suspect that cryonics, as a medical
procedure, will be useful in some way as long as we're
in organic form, and I don't recall saying anything to
the contrary.
