From Michael Riskin

Yes, I answered Dave. And in fact, I changed my paperwork prior to hearing
about Dave's question, to reflect that desire in anticipaion of the
quintuple coronary bypass I was about to undergo in a few days.

My request was for a neuro vitrification and a whole body "standard" (
likely a straight freeze as it was explained to me because of tech
considerations at this time), both parts stored in the same bag/container.

As to cost , storage shouldnt be a factor as right now both head and body
are at ln2 in the same place. The extra cost is in the the two separate
suspension procedures to be billed ( one neuro and one whole body).
