don't see how your concern applies to cryonics in particular. If you think it's
at all likely (and I do not), surely it would apply to already-living people
before those in need of revivification, purely from the standpoint of
efficiency.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Having signed up to be cryonically suspended i wonder if future beings
will reanimate humans to torture them in perpetua. The likelihood of such
might be small, but just say there's a .001 risk of eating a certain
food and going into convulsions lasting years-- would i eat that food?
No.</DIV>
<DIV> I signed up to be suspended anyway yet always wonder about the
direst of reanimation possibilities seeing as how we live in a multiverse not
a universe, and all possibilities are conceivable. Though the risk is very
small if one loses the odds and is tortured forever, death would seem like a
wonderful priceless gift. </DIV>
