I am interested in hearing ways to help insure my rapid cryonic suspension
upon my termination.  Here are some ideas floating around in my head:

1) Wear around your necklace or bracelet.  I have a necklace, but the
instructions seem vague and wierd for anybody who doesn't know what is
going on.  Anybody else think that?  It should say something along the
lines of:
  On event of death call ###-#### immediately
  This person is part of a scientific experiment
  and you will be rewarded well for fast and
  correct contact and actions.

  Cool body ... etc etc


2) Tell everyone you know closely how to contact Alcor and how important
it is that they do so immediately.  They will probably be among the first
to know of your death.

3) In the long run, it seems like technology could help a lot.  For instance,
a heart monitor could always ascertain condition.  In event of death, it
would immediately send out a signal to nearby stations with the location.
Then emergency crews from the agency could arrive quickly.
