By then, there will be another kind of life insurance :o) - Cryonics Death
Insurance. The insurance companies will come up with a way to sell you any
product on which they can make money :o). Do you care how you get money from
someone - by buying your cookies or by buying a monthly premium for
"Cryonics Death Insurance" or as it will be packaged "Second Chance on Life
Insurance" :o) Don't worry about that. If and when cryonics becomes a widely
or even an emerging possibility, they'll offer a cryonics specific
insurance. You will be also able to buy an "ultimate death" insurance :o) in
case you are burned or buried :o)

ed person will make a
decision on that? Are you saying that the convict *will*have to be cured of
his "pathological" desires to kill, have sex with minors, rape, do drugs?
How about then smoke, drink hard liquor, masturbate, be gay or lesbian, have
an accent or that scar that my wife left me on my right cheek when we were
fooling around? Where is the border line here?

This implies that the government accepts cryonics as a means of
"rehabilitation" in case cryonics becomes mainstream and *everyone* has this
opportunity to be suspended like now buried or cremated. When the government
accepts it, only then you can talk that. But even that will stand in the
face of the freedoms a convicted criminal will have after his/her death. Or
does the government owns you should and your body :o) unless you do your 20
years? But even then when you die and resurrected and finish your 20 years,
the society will be so different that laws may look differently at people
who come back with criminal backgrounds. Will they even want them revived?
Or will it be another experiment grandioso to see what comes of these
Neanderthals :o)

If the person is suspended, s/he expects the sanctity of the process and
restoring him without someone telling him/her what kind of person he'll be.
Is Alcor or CI going to put in a clause in the contract that allows them to
change my psychology? I don't think this will fly :o)

The future if fun... :o) I can tell it already!
