"This may be true if it is a way of life that is being

offered. If it is cryonic suspension, then the best
time is in middle age, when people are coming to terms
with their mortality."

Actually, the survey I conducted a few years ago
indicated just the opposite (WTA's Journal of
Evolution and Technology, Dec 1998). I think the
middle-aged are too involved in their lives to really
think that much about their deaths. The most
interested were the younger and the older populations.
Obviously the latter group has the money. This, I
believe, is precisely why the new cryonics firm in
Florida intends to market their services to an elderly
demographic. I've been waiting to see someone try this
for a long time. It's most likely a preferable
solution to a faith-based cryonics cult. It's too bad
they're having so many difficulties with state
regulation issues. I hope that problem is resolved
son. Sadly, I may need a contingency plan if the Larry
Johnson fiasco continues to mushroom.
