Rudi Hoffman writes about "open source" information for cryonics organization 
members who want to help or/and be helped by others in cryonics.

It may be worth pursuing, but with caution. There are questions of legal 

liability, for example, for both the volunteers and the organizations, as well 
as 
possible physical hazards to participants. Local morticians may very well be 
spooked by kibitzers, in some cases already being nervous about involvement in 
something non-traditional. There is also a danger of too much reliance on 

volunteers, who have not been notably reliable in the past. As with most things,
there are benefits and risks, and the details are important.
