They have always held out for some treatment. I for one would contribute some to help her be suspended if the cryonics community would offer. It could be a good media for Alcor, or CI." You were doing ok until you put in that last sentence (assumption). I think, based on the history of cryonics organizations trying this in the past, that there should be a question mark after this sentence instead of a period? 1.. We have no idea if the media would be good or very very bad for us. The media would see we were only doing it for selfish reasons. There probably is no cortex in that person's head so we would not be helping her, she is long gone. 2. We have no idea if the cryonics community would suffer if the organizations offered free suspensions for big shots (maybe that isn't the best word, but...) and still charged the rank and file members plenty. 3. We have no idea if this would be good for "the girl on Life Support" as we don't know if she wanted it? 4. We have enought problems trying to get good suspensions for people who want them and are willing to pay for them.
