You may be right, but by the time we get medical technology up to the 
point it could repair a suspended monkey there may be no market for 
cryonics.  I suspect that with that level of technology people will 
just quit dying (unless they want too).  In either case, they are not 
cryonics customers.

Something like this happened to Iridium.  By the time they had it 
operational cell phones had eaten most of their market.

Of course, for those of us signed up, this is an ideal outcome.
