Subject: Re:  cryonics #371 - Re: ... Spousal Approval

Breaking social/family ties to those who oppose one's participation in cryonics
may make sense in some cases, but not in all.  The reason is obvious to anyone
who actually has to face such a problem. One's family--parents, children, 
spouse and siblings--and friends are a very important support network.  One
cannot just walk away from these people without endangering one's security
in very real and immediate ways--unless one has lots of assets, preferably
liquid.  The reason that most homeless bums end up that way is because they
managed to encounter some emergency at some point in their lives when they 
lacked an adequate support network.  Homeless bums generally cannot afford
cryonics--or the best in medical care, for that matter.
