Subject: Why?
From: Thomas R Mazanec <>

There are thousands of millions of people in the world.
Hundreds of millions of them live in the "developed regions".
Millions of these are in the upper 1 percentile of IQ.
Thousands of people, at most, have signed up for cryonics.
Why do 99.9% of the smart, educated, wealthy population
have nothing to do with cryonics? They know of it...for a third
of a century cryonics has been popularized...probably as many
people have heard of it as have heard of flying saucers.
Yet you can't get more than a minimum of people to sign up.
Diagnose what is wrong, then prescribe how to cure this.
Otherwise, at best you'll be a small fraction of a percent
of the world, with cash flow problems constantly hanging
like a sword over the heads of the cryonics companies.
At worst, some disaster (earthquake, whatever) will defrost
a major cryonics company's "cryonauts" and the movement
will suffer a fatal blow.
