Thomas would you consider owning a place in a bigfoot dewar in Norway,

or 1/4 of such a dewar?  Cost would be 1/4 of the dewar and its freight to 
Norway,
and 1/4 of its annual upkeep, room rental and liquid nitrogen consumption.

If you want to use the spot, then there would of course be the added cost of 
freezing someone elsewhere in whatever way you afford, and freigth to Norway and
cost of placing the body in the dewar, and the need to set up some means of 
longrun funding and some provisions for what to do if that funding runs out. And
some emergency sluch fund and mutual coinsurance policy with other facilities 
would probably be useful.

She has made a confidential offer but it is more than what C.I. charges for post
mortem suspensions.

Norway has provisions for bio banks. 
We also have provisions for donating organs,
and for donating whole bodies for research,

Thus cryonics has to be set up as such and not as a church yard.

For regular burial only cremation and chest burial is permitted,
However, it is legel to ship corpses in and out,
 

We also have the option of perma frost burials at Svalbard and near many of our 
glaciers.

Speak for yourself, I think it gets to warm when it is about 80 degrees 
fahrenheit.

Wiking->friend Trygve;-)

Do you know if Bj rn Lyng the Norwegian developer of huge Spanish resorts, is 
still alive?

Anyone heard from the Martinot's lately?
