I'm hopeful that these guys mean well, and they're not just trying to make a buck off of end-of-life issues. However, IMHO, "irreversible" death is never an okay decision.

As a cryonicist, I have the opposite of a DNR. I have executed a medical directive that says to take every possible measure to extend my life, and only if that's not possible, or if my brain is in immediate danger of rapid deterioration, then to call Alcor and move me to a state that allows assisted suicide, so Alvor can begin cryopreservation under as optimal conditions, as possible.

Best regards,
