Subject: Is a ship the solution?

I have no news about the CI legal situation, I assume there is nothing new... 
My question is: Is it possible to sign up with CI now?  can someone signed up 
can be cryopreserved at CI these days? (I means a new patient.)

As I understand this is not the case or could be so on a short notice. A 

legal battle can endure for years with an unknown issue. A solution would be to

build or buy another facility in another state. Simple to say, less to finance,
particularly if new contracts are forbidden.

I think the idea of a cryonics facility on a ship has been "floated" a number 
of times. I understand that solution would be more costly than a ground one, 
but if there is a small supply ship, the cryonics ship could nearly never come 
to the harbor, it would be free of national or state law. I think that rough 
sea is less noxious today that rough law.

May be a contract with the ship service could be coupled with the buying of a 
time share part in a flat near some harbor. In this way, real estate loans 

would be used to pay for fully paid in advance cryonics contract.  May be CI has
a sufficient member basis for using this possibility. If ten percent of the 

present day members was interested in that solution, I think it could be worked
out...

Well, living in France where cryonics is at level zero and the law forbid it, 
that solution seems the only one workable for a large part of Europe. So, a 
potential US solution would be too *the* European one...
