Can you sue?  Whether you can or not, is there something that
can be written into cryonics arrangements to make sure that
greedy a**holes like this don't see a dime?

I would love to see a wrongful death lawsuit brought against
this guy.  Even if we lost, it would bring the issue into the

Grr.

Live long and prosper,
