X-Message-Number: 4299 From: (Brian Wowk) Newsgroups: sci.cryonics Subject: Re: The "Future Technology" Panacea Date: 25 Apr 1995 17:46:22 GMT Message-ID: <3njche$> References: <> <> <> <> <> One of the biggest problems with passive storage in, say, Anarctica, is that the capital cost of transport and storage there exceeds the capital cost of indefinite storage back in the real world. If the collapse of civilization is what you are concerned about, then you had better be concerned about how many millennia pass before you are rediscovered in your icy grave. I won't even bother discussing the biological issues of high-subzero storage, except to say that they are terrible. For my money, the best bet for making it to the future is to get yourself preserved with the very best technology you can afford, place yourself in the care and oversight of the most trustworth people you can find, and place your money somewhere where it can continue to support you through the rough ride of cryonics history. For me, this means membership in the CryoCare Foundation with my children and trusted friends as Patient Advocates. ---Brian Wowk Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=4299
