So any delay in preservation means Alcor can just refuse to do it's

Depends on what "its job" is defined to be doesn't it? You don't show
up if you contract to fight fires after the house is burned down.<br>

We don't really know that, do we? Properly embalmed and stored in a

You can't reanimate a person whose brain has already decayed away
either. Precisely my point.<br>

Yeah, it's gruesome. So what? Cryopreservation shouldn't be skipped in

When it is utterly pointless and only gruesome is left it should.<br>
