X-Message-Number: 15293 Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2001 13:16:53 -0500 (EST) From: Charles Platt <> Subject: Mike Perry's suggestion Mike Perry of course is right: Ideally, people who are at imminent risk of death should relocate near a cryonics facility. Even more ideally, we should have a suitable place ready for them. In practice however I have seen many cases (which Mike must know about, since his knowledge is encyclopedic) where elderly or infirm people become extremely stubborn and refuse to take action that is clearly in their own interests. In my limited experience, I can't think of a single person who has relocated in anticipation of cryopreservation. This raises an issue which deserves far greater consideration than it receives: The tendency of patients to interfere with their own care.
