I presume that the organization that I pay
to preserve and revive me will do so when
it is practicable, "interest" aside.  Of
course, if the organization and all its
affiliates go under, and no cryonicists
are around to call for continued preservation
and/or revival, all bets are off.  Even
given that, there will come a time when the
revival is so easy that "what the heck,
might as well".  Also, if revival is easy,
dumping us will look an awful lot like
murder.

FTR, I'd rather be revived as a curiosity
("Come see what a human born in the 20th
Century was like!") than not revived at all.

Live long and prosper,
Kennita
