I must defer to my respects to your magnificent idea of Cryonics Community. Let me tell you how members in Japan, including myself, have been glad to know you have proposed such a great plan. I believe it is very important to establish a system to allow non-U.S. citizens to join Cryonics Community. The system will surely give a favorable effect on fund raising for putting the plan into practice. In Japan, basically, legally dead persons must be cremated. Changing the Japanese legal system requires a lot of time and efforts. For this reason, many of us in Japan are thinking of immigrating into the U.S. or other countries/regions. What is better is immigrating after retirement. But obtaining permanent residential right in other countries is quite difficult. If there is a system in which foreigners are employed for several hours of work a week (e.g., intellectual work using computer, garbage collector at a community) and can receive a small amount of payment with a proper working visa, cryonicists will get together from all over the world. We would like to examine the possibility of establishing a legal system like this and propose the idea from a faraway country, Japan. We would like to join the great plan proposed by you.
