As I said, no amount of reason is sufficient to handle someone with no reason. "Mr PooPoo" appears to lack any redeeming characteristic; that David Cosenza, alone, respects PooPoo's dignity as a correspondent is a remarkable demonstration of David's strength of character. The rest of us can surely only look on David's example and wonder. But enough of this - let's get back to some kind of signal and leave the noise off the list for a while. I was wondering whether any of the suspension providers have any sort of reciprocal arrangement with insurers? If an insurer was willing to present cryonics as a tick-box option on a life insurance policy (notwithstanding the eventual need to fill out the rest of the paperwork) I imagine that this might catch people in a receptive mood for the idea - people who are actively considering their own mortality and making arrangements for regular monthly payments in order to prepare for it. Has any provider considered or implemented such an arrangement? Peter Merel. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6760
