How much more resources are needed to support
a suspended body thatn a buried corpse? In the US,
each corpse gets its own plot (many variations, but this
is the norm) while a cryonaut gets shelf-space. At a
guess, the cryonaut's real-estate usage will average less
than the usage of the typical US corpse. Furthermore, the
cryonaut is financially responsible for the maintanence
expenses, so there should additional burden to society.
