I am an infrequent reader of cryonet, so I apologize if the answer to my question has been discussed before. I wondered why people who go through suspension have to die first. We do not think that they are dead. Why not fight to have some state or country recognize that these people are alive, so that they will have the same status as somebody who is in a coma? There are some obvious advantages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raphael T.
