You do have a point. I wish very much that this situation were remedied. There is a lot that can be said (and hopefully *done*) on this subject, and it goes beyond "conventional wisdom" both in and outside cryonics. (As a start, I say some things in my book ... .) I guess my suggestion at this point is at least to keep the discussion going, and there are a few things that can be done now or relatively easily arranged, such as storage of records and cell samples.
