Subject: List of Cryonics-Related Organizations and Publications
The list is in two parts:
(1) those organizations with suspension capability (or that are working
toward achieving suspension capability) and
(2) those organizations and publications that support cryonics in other
ways (including life extension publications run by cryonicists).
Please let me know of any further omissions or corrections!

The Reanimation Foundation is set up to enable you to "take it with you"
and provide financial support for your reanimation, reeducation, and
reentry. It is based in Liechtenstein, which does not have a Rule Against
Perpetuities, and thus allows financial assets to be owned by a person
long after the person is declared legally dead.
