In other words, once they have set up arrangements for themselves, they don't care what happens to anyone else. It's pretty clear that this results in no one else caring about them. *Successful* cryonics organizations and successful outcomes can only come from a large number of people saying "Me, and my family and my friends and a lot of other people first, all together."
