Thank you for answering.
I find it strange how society at large frowns upon cryo, while also not doing a serious effort to prolong the healthy lifespan (wallbangerific). But on the other side frowns upon suicide.
I also usually avoid the topic due to its iffyness, and i am not signed up myself yet, so its basically armchairing anyway.
I think Matt got a point. And of course if you go into the search for your real reasons all kinds of bad things might happen for you.
But what jumped me, was that a long lifespan is fine, while a long lifespan with a coma/pause in the middle is not. I dont get that.
Of course cryo people would love to take their loved ones with them, and are horrified when they ignore the chance.
I am starting to wonder if there needs to be more of a recognized social niche for cryo supporters who aren't signed up themselves (or whose arrangements simply are not public).
My niche is young people with little money living in Europe. To sign up I need to a) make money - which will happen soon b) figure out how the necessary arrangements for germany regarding transport, legal and what not, c) get the paperwork. After the writing the earlier comment I got another reality-shock about how stupid it is that society at large doesnt jump on the longevity issue. Way worse than smoking....
