Hi folks!

Here's a general question: can anyone refer me to prior 
comments/correspondence about 

a) Reanimation/reactivation - what kind of concerns should one cover by 
formal statement in advance of being suspended? (What kind of body and 
chemistry to wake to, what physiological age preference, gender 
preference, gender attraction preference if chemistry-based, metabolic 
preference; what risk factor acceptable for attempted reanimation; to be 
cossetted and gentled into the new age, or be accepted as a risk-taker 
and fast learner and given hard facts and truths right away; to be 
reanimated at the same time as or before or after friends and family, or 
independently of them; and what else?....)

b) What organisational structure will most easily adapt from the current 
proselyzing and freezing, through megagrowth, maintenance and financial 
concerns, into reanimation, transhuman option decision-making, and 
resocialization?  We have two basic models: one group does everything 
(and will therefore evolve the more easily, because it is used to always 
doing whatever is necessary); or a variety of groups work together in 
specialized functions (and will therefore  evolve the more easily, by 
generating new specialist groups at need).  But where will the new 
funding come from, in each case?

Or does anyone have additional thoughts about any of this?

Always optimistically,

Robin HL
