	A common fallacy.  Cryonicists place NO FAITH in "curious
human nature".  What keeps cryonics patients frozen today (and
for the past 30 years) is not curiousity, but serious dedication
to a multi-generational task that we know our own lives will someday
depend on.  In many cases (as John de Rivaz points out) love and
loyalty to individuals is an even more powerful factor.  Curiousity
has nothing to do with it.
