The last thing I want for Christmas is a flame war with David Cosenza, but... there is more to a cryonics organization than a company name. There is also the people that make it up. All of the aforementioned organizations (with the exception of CI) have undergone radical changes in personnel within the last few years, so it's really a whole new ball game. No one can tell you about that better than ACS, who recently chose to move almost their entire patient population from venerable Trans Time to upstart CryoSpan. It should also be noted (for posterity, if nothing else) that many of the people now working for CryoCare and its service providers bear a large measure of responsibility for Alcor's haven "proven itself worthy again and again" over the past 20 years. It's not as though we are just in off the street around here! Brian Wowk President, CryoCare Foundation Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5359
