Fear of death + rich == respect?

• lotsofmangos 12y ago
  No. Most folk fear death. If the reason that folk got froze was just because they were rich people who feared death, then a lot more of the rich would be doing it. I think many folk who do this are showing a level of extreme bloody mindedness combined with a completely ridiculous gambling streak, that I do sort of respect. I mean, even if it does work, or even worse, half works, you have no fucking clue what madness awaits. The chances of ending up in some Cold Lazarus lab experiment seem to be not completely discountable, seeing that is nearly what you are paying for.

    Nonzero but still infinitesimal, especially considering Alcor's mission includes reviving its patients itself, and if humanity has the technology to do so, it could easily clone people so wouldn't need to bring back cryonics patients for malicious purposes

  s/rich/life insurance/ Many Alcor patients are middle class rather than rich.
