If my cells are stored with Cells 4 Life now, there would be a good sample and a good cloning could be done. If I held off until I was underground perhaps the DNA sample would not be a good one. My personal feeling is that I do not want to waste the resources to clone my body if I do not remember who I am. It is not the body but the memories that are important to me. At the end of the restoration cycle I want to know it was me standing there. I want my original thoughts and not implanted ones. If someone dug up my father and cloned him, he would be just another person in the world and not someone I know. My Dad would have really liked the idea of cryonics. Would a clone of my Dad like cryonics??? So the answer is, don't dig me up unless my memory can be saved. Right now I am absolutely positive that ALCOR can save my memory better than any other cryonics organization out there. Forget about the politics and the bickering that goes on over Cryonet. I want the best possible chance to have my memories restored to a new body and that is why I am signed up with ALCOR. Billy H.
