Perhaps that dating of emotional bonds will turn out for the best. The
early generations of cryonics will probably have used crude techniques
compared to the later generations. I think this will probably make
them harder to revive. If your great-great-great grandchild doesn't
remember you well enough to care about your revival, he or she might
care enough to revive your great-great-grandchild, who in turn might
care enough to revive your great-grandchild at a later date, and
presumably with better tools. by induction, this might proceed to your
revival at the latest date and with the best possible tools.

Full of holes, and vulgar next to Eliezer's eloquence, I admit.
