He knows it. He admits it. If he had it to do over again perhaps he would do things differently? Who knows.” Yes, that is definitely and understatement Dave. I really don't blame anyone but myself, I got myself sideways in this deal. If you happen to be sitting on the fence with this whole signing up for cryonics thing, don't follow my example. Funny you know, I recently had the occasion to revisit that same document that I didn't quite pull the trigger on years ago, and you something, the only part of the document that I reviewed was the part where you sign up. This I posted in Cold Filter. Undertoad wrote Not questioning his integrity, but if he's such a cryonics supporter, how come he hasn't been signed up for years? Why wasn't he "able to get his suspension funded at CI?" Thefirstimmortal writes Unfortunately I have become the poster boy for paralysis of analysis. I joined CI because it's no debt policy and sound business practices, but I didn't like the contract and wanted to have it changed. Now, let me say this about the contract, because it has been a few years since I took a hard look at it. My recollection was that it was an excellent contract as far as protecting CI. I don't know who drafted it, but it really offered some bulletproof protection for CI. But as a customer I wanted to make some changes to the document. Then I started reviewing all of the paperwork, and wanted to read the whole over 20,000 posts at cryonet. I started taking data and notes on such things as Autopsy, Religious objection http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4571&hl= There were issues with different freezing methods employed Cryonics straight freeze and vitro, Problems with freezing methods. http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4621&hl= And of course, I had to pause to take some time helping on the whole stump bill issue Do,,, or Die...The War on Immortality, Call to arms, Stump Bill http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3153&hl= And of course I had to get those lovely cryonics Quotes. http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4598&hl= And for those not checking the links, I would like to point out the very first quote I found was a quote from Robert Ettinger which ironically states "But don't let indecision paralyze you. It is sometimes more important to be decisive than to be "right." After all, if you join one organization and later decide you made a mistake, it's probably not a big deal. You don't tie up a lot of money by joining. Delay can cost you everything--and has done so in the past for many people. Yeah, How's that for prophesy. I wanted to study other legal issues like RIGHT TO CONTROL DISPOSITION OF REMAINS http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4590&hl= LIVING WILLS AND HEALTH CARE DIRECTIVES http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4591&hl= UNIFORM ANATOMICAL GIFT ACT http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=4589&hl= Cryonics, Legal notes http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=2488&hl= Legal Notes, Property in a corpse..........????, Right to direct disposal of one's body http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3301&hl= Defining Death, Case notes http://www.imminst.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=3213&hl= Yeah, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. Is this a satisfactory answer???
