Oh I know.  Mostly I just make excuses.  One concern though is 
insurance.  What are some of the policies people have had experience 
with?  Good companies perhaps friendly to the cryonics movement?  I 
really don't trust corporate bureacrats any more than the governmental 
sort and I don't want to get the "Ted Williams" treatment with people 
arguing over where the money is.  Also, how is the medical establishment 
(another bunch I don't trust) made aware of one's preference?  Is there 
a cryo tag you can wear like those allergy med-alert things?
