As some of you may know, I'm attempting to start a cryonics organization
in Oregon, including long-term patient storage (neuro only).
www.oregoncryo.com.  Here's my progress so far:

I've contacted the Oregon Mortuary Board.  The director was very nice
and nonjudgemental.  He said cryonics is not currently recognized as a
lawful means of final disposition in Oregon, and he feels we would need
to pass legislation to make it so.  So, of course, I'm thinking about
approaching it from that angle some day.  In the meantime, I'm going to
attempt to make use of the UAGA.  Why not continue to use the UAGA?
Because I think it's a weak argument.  That's not what the UAGA was
intended for.  I want some rock solid legislation that guarantees that
nobody will interfere with our right to do this.  I don't care what
hoops they make us jump through or what licenses we need to get.  I just
don't like gray areas.


Does anyone have any advice for me?  If not, then I will continue on my
current track of doing lots of heavy research and rereading every case
relating to cryonics.  Once I feel comfortable with my knowledge level,
I will officially begin accepting patients.
