[extropy-chat] Sasha is alive!

[Brent Allsop]

I am embarrassed and troubled to say I am not yet signed up.

It is definitely a real goal of mine, but primarily for family reasons I
haven't yet.  I just wish it was possible to sign up my entire family.  But
of course they all seem very hostile to the idea.

If canonizer.com takes off and makes some money, that would be my first
priority - financing the preservation of my entire family.  Especially my
and my wife's parents who are really getting up there in age.  That would
just tear me apart to not make it in time, or if I did have the money to
offer them straight out for free - have them completely turn any such offer
down.

Short of nanotech/uploading (which we don't have yet) no.

These are definitely not mutually exclusive choices.  Everyone I know in 
cryonics is also interested in life extension and anyone who has done 
suspensions (worked on 18 myself) will tell you that being suspended 
sucks.  It just sucks less than the alternative.

Only a few piped up that they were signed up.  Are there any here who are
not?
