X-Message-Number: 8463 Date: Thu, 14 Aug 1997 11:29:03 -0400 (EDT) From: Robin Helweg-Larsen <> Subject: Signing up I just want to vent frustration with the sign-up process, which I've been in for 2 years, and which is bogged right down in the insurance side. After two separate visits from medical people, and with a tangle of manoeuvres to have a cryonics group as my beneficiary, it's all gone nowhere, and I'm pissed off. It's honestly hard enough to decide between cryonics companies, especially as the more you look into them the more you make friends all over the place, without having to have the choice then dragged over the rocks for years. I would also suggest that cryonics groups accepting advertising from insurance people recognize that there *is* an implicit endorsement of their ability to process the application successfully, and that if nothing else they should do some kind of Consumer's Report analysis of success and failure of insurance companies/representatives and publish it next to the ads.
