Briefly to some of Carole Eklund's questions (#18142):

>1)When, in the future, a person is reanimated, who (if anyone)will be
responsible for the person/body in question? 

In the case of Cryonics Institute patients, CI itself (the Board of Directors 
at the time) will have the responsibility, absent any governmental 
intervention. The funds freed up by termination of the need for liquid 
nitrogen maintenance, plus investment and other gains over the years, should 
provide ample means. 

>2) Is it supposed that the brain will also be animated (is this possible?)

The brain of course is the main part of the person, and "revival" MEANS 
revival as the same person, or as nearly as the laws of nature permit.

>3)Does cloning play a part in the reanimation process, 

No.
