X-Message-Number: 2876 Date: Tue, 12 Jul 1994 00:15:25 -0700 (PDT) From: Marty Nemko <> Subject: CRYONICS Hello, This is my first post on this list. I am in the process of making a decision as to which group to make my cryonics arrangements with. I am interested in folks' reactions to the tentative conclusion that I have made. Are there important factors that I'm not considering in having made this TENTATIVE decision? I have tentatively decided to, for now, sign up with ACS for the following reasons: 1. I live in Northern California, where Jim Yount and company have a reportedly good emergency team in place. I am only 44 and in apparently good health, but it would seem that rapidity and quality of immediate care would seem to be a key factor in deciding whom to sign up with. 2. ACS allows me what appears to be a desirable combination: a Mike Darwin suspension combined with athe low-cost of a CI long-term storage, at a lower annual and long-term anticipated cost than CryoCare. 3. Although there seems to be some question about ACS' long-term viability, if in fact, it becomes too shaky, I can alwys transfer later. A year or two fofrom now, for example, we'll have some signs as to the viability of CryoCare. What do you folks think of my reasoning? What else should I be thinking about at this stage? Thank you.
