Subject: Russian web poll on cryonics

There was a cryonics poll on a Russian web search site
"Aport" (www.aport.ru). It was ordered by "Kommersant-
Dengi" ("Businessman-Money"), one of the best Russian
business weekly magazine. A journalist of this magazine
prepares an article on cryonics (I and some other cryonicists
help him). I think, he was an author of this poll.

The question was: 
"Would you like to be frozen after your death? (Why)"

If you click on "Why" you see the following help window:

"The scientists, conducting cryonics research, state, that
the body, frozen in liquid nitrogen according to all rules,
can be stored hundreds years without change. And they don't
exclude that the possibility to return this body to life will
appear in the far future. In the West the body-freezing 
service is very popular. For example, there is "Cryonics
Society" in the USA that people join before the death with
the hope to be resurrected in the future. There were rumors
that such known people as Salvador Dali and Walt Disney
bequeathed to freeze their bodies after the death."

Today the journalist sent me the preliminary results of
this poll.

Number of answers: 831

Yes, of course:  
    93  (11.2%)
Yes, if I will have money:  
    36  (4.3%)
Maybe:  
    91  (11.0%)
Rather no:  
   131  (15.8%)
Never:  
   100  (12.0%)
I'm very surprized by your question:  
   380  (45.7%)
