------------------------
I don't think Trans Time ever had "members" because it is a for-profit 
corporation with stockholders and customers. As far as I know, it still has 
the facility but apparently has not had a new patient for several years.

CI and Alcor are the only other organizations currently offering both to 
prepare and store patients. American Cryonics Society (ACS) has some 
preparation capabilities as well as administrative services, and its people 
can be stored at CI or given full CI services. There are several other 
organizations, in the U.S. and abroad, with partial capabilities or services. 
There are active local volunteer groups in the areas of Toronto, Ontario; 
London, England; Sydney/Melbourne, Australia; and Washington, DC. Suspended 
Animation Inc. does preparation only and offers standby services. 

The UK group (Alan and Sylvia Sinclair apparently providing the bulk of the 
funding) may buy an ex-military bunker and eventually use it as a storage 
facility. See
