In my earlier post I forgot a couple of things (probably more):

Jerry Leaf served in the Special Forces in Viet Nam. I understand this is 
strictly voluntary.

Richard C. Davis, one of the four charter members of CI, once found himself 

alone in the street confronted by three gunmen trying to rob him. He only had a
.22 pistol, but in the shoot-out he wounded and captured all three. One said 
later that the .22 "sounded like a machine gun." Rich didn't have a concealed 
weapons permit at the time, but the police were so happy that they issued him 
one, back-dated.

I'm not saying that every cryonicist is fearless. We vary widely, in this as 
in other things. But besides all of them having the moral courage to break 
with tradition, many do have physical courage as well. 

It might not be a bad idea to incorporate some of this in Youniverse. Those 
who can supply additional examples for me, please do.
