My own current dismay at Alcor's fund-raising techniques, and my feelings
of surprise and betrayal at the way Alcor's President is refusing to hear
or respond to criticism, raise the question "What if Alcor isn't there for
ME?"

I'm reminded of the despairing postings I saw from Mike Darwin a few years
ago, indicating, that he, personally, no longer expected to be frozen. I
hope he's past that stage now, but anyway, reason number 5 for not signing
up, a very unpleasant one:

Belief that cryonics CAN work, but no faith in the
competence/goodwill/viability of current cryonics organizations.
