LOL!!  Just for this single comment, should my girlfriend and I marry, we will 
have TEN kids and name one of them Toby!  That'll teach you!! : )


Considering how few cryonicists there are in the world, how many offspring we 
have as a group just does not matter.  And in fact, by having kids we could 
definitely swell our numbers, even though I admit this is a very slow way of 
doing so.  And hopefully within a half century or less cryonics will not even be
necessary as a form of extreme life extension.

As simply one among MANY options for reanimated cryonicists, I would agree with 
you.  Some people might find this very comforting, at least for the first few 
weeks or months of their return to the world.  Frankly, speaking for myself, I 
would want to GET OUT into the big wide universe and see what is going on out 
there!!  Toby, how about you?

best wishes,

John
