We're not too many people currently in the scheme of things. However, I'm sure the Jews in Nazi Germany thought the same about their new Chancellor. However, if things go badly... have Alcor or CI considered purchasing/leasing land in Canada or Mexico and setting up a secondary emergency maintenance facility for the cryopreserved? Land and buidings there are very cheap, The dewars are not though... and how difficult is it to drive across the border with bodies? What are the legal status of cryonics in these countries? I specifically ask about these as they are big empty countries with easy road access to the USA- although I suppose one could fly a chartered jet anywhere in the world pretty easily, as long as the authorities on the other end were receptive to your arrival. Iceland, anyone? Are there ANY legal cryonics facilities in any other country- that is industrialized enough to provide cheap liquid nitrogen? Tasmania? New Zealand?
