Then the one objective is die wealthy so you can afford all the care, the 
other is choosing an organization that will care enough about your long-term
survival to correctly budget what resources you have earmarked for cryonics 
in the event that you are unable to do it yourself. If Perry thinks that BPI 
and CryoCare are his tickets to ride, then I encourage him to send both 
companies a certified letter informing them of his wishes so that when his 
time comes they will know what he wants. Of course, the main condition seems
to be that there be no cryonic suspension unless all the optimal circumstances
obtain.

Ever forward,

David
