No, I share your assumption, Eugen. That's my whole point-- we need to 
take all the steps we can to insure cryonics will be there in four to 
five decades, even if most of civilization no longer is.

Of course infinite life is thermodynamically impossible, but not 
indefinite life. I was just being sloppy with language, sorry.
