For one thing, a small dewer is very inefficient, simple surface to vol problems. For another, few, very few people would be up to regularly having LN2 delivered, and the neighbors asking what *that* was for. And how about vacations? Going to give them up? or have someone come in and top off Gramps? What about vac failure, something you can expect once every decade or so. Do you have a spare dewer handy? This would be barely possible for head only cases, but whole body, ferget it, the dang dewers are 9 feet tall and weight about a ton when full. And the health department, man, what are *they* going to say. One last thing, so few people are interested in cryonics that the cross product of being interested in it and having relatives who are also interested in it is near zero. In my case, neither my parents or my grown kids are interested, with parents actively hostile. And even if you did, what happens in the *next* generation? Sorry to say, but current cryonics practice is the outcome of a lot of bitter failures. Keith Henson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=254
