Sometimes I have to wonder about Ettinger's motivations, though. As I
understand it, in Michigan, where CI is located, there are strict laws
prohibiting anyone who is not a mortician from performing the kind of
work necessary for a cryopreservation.
Of course, there are workarounds for this (become a mortician, do the
work out of state, as I'm sure much of it already is), but you have to
wonder, though.
Since CI has such a fat bankroll as compared to the other orgs, it
would sure be nice if they would really fund some real research.
