Last night, as I was reading through James Halperin's excellent
novel _The First Immortal_, an interesting thought crossed my mind.
Cryonics organizations are essentially non-profit, using the money
from suspensions to maintain dewars etc. Considering the progress of
parallel technologies, there is a possibility of some method of life
extension (eg: nanotechnology) becoming available before a cryonic
suspension is necessary. If this were to happen, would the funds be
reimbursed to those who have cryonics accounts? When such advances come
about, they surely will not be cheap; perhaps funds could be transfered?
