[ExI] Ilsa Bartlett comments about our cryonics thread

[Gina Miller]

A legal contract is a legal contract and one where cryonics is concerned, 
specifically states that this is instructions for after ones death. This is 
why the courts sided with Alcor in the recent case, because they were 
abiding by a legal contract.

And Natasha is right, if you are really worried about it, a will helps.
