the ones who stand with you won't include your biological family...

I have found that to be very true.

I think that I would not wish to have most of my family around if their lives were interrupted for 20, 50, or 100 years. Most of them have a hard enough time with living in a world that is moving at the pace of our current world, much less the drastic change that they would experience if they were to suddenly wake to a world to which they had no frame of reference.

I would not wish to be lonely in such a world, but, I already have friends with Alcor plans.
