Thanks for posting this. This is quite useful. It sounds like neuropreservation patients are not generally underfunded, so I find that at least slightly encouraging.

Indeed. That's one of the options I didn't quote: converting the underfunded whole-body patients to neuropreservation. (Apparently Alcor's agreements lets it do that, which makes sense - it can't take a huge bath, but it'd be even worse to let a member go completely unpreserved.)
