Subject: Hospice in Japan

Hi, this is Mizuho from Japan.

It is difficult for Japanese hospice to have 
a suspension facility for now.
"Cryonics" is not so popular in Japan yet.  If a patient 
comes to a hospice, learns about cryonics for the first 
time, and applies for cryonics, the patient will likely have 
problems with his or her family regarding his or her 
property.  We therefore cannot offer cryonics to hospices.

However, the purpose of a hospice is to meet patients' needs 
wherever possible, so if a patient has sufficient knowledge 
of cryonics and asks for suspension, the staff of hospic
 must grant that request.  
Hospices that understand their duties will cooperate.

Yoko, a member of Metamorphosis Society, who does volunteer (musical 
performance) work at a hospice, has the same viewpoint.
It takes 30 minutes by car from our office to the hospice where she 
performs as a volunteer.  When we can afford to have a 
suspension facility, we will ask the hospice to cooperate.
