Being able to plan a suspension (death in popular language) presents a great opportunity. One can wait until suspension personnel, equipment and supplies are on hand before initiating the "Assisted Suicide.” This would maximize your chances for an optimal suspension. The downside of course, is a possible "death by cryonics” backlash from the media. I could imagine stories to the effect that, "Mr. Smith only killed himself because those evil Alcor/CI people told him he would live forever.” --000e0cd2536c906394047044a5d1 Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=31848
