I enjoyed reading the whole posting.  I learnt a few things and I always 
appreciate a quiet laugh.

On a more serious note.  When/if we wake up a century or so into the future 
it is unlikely that our mores will be applicable.  As a cryonicsist you have 
to be prepared that the future will force you to adjust to their moral and 
social standards.

We have been doing this all our lives.  Anyone who is more than a quarter of 
a century old will have had at least one firmly held childhood truth turned 
on its head.  By the time you approach a century almost everything you 
thought you knew will have changed.

We can cope with it as long as it happens one day at the time, but it will 
be harder when we have to swallow a generations worth of drift in one go on 
reanimation.

On an even more serious note, I have found that it is the though of having 
to cope with all this change that is stopping a lot of people from wanting 
the cryonics option.
