What about the fear of throwing your monthly (or yearly) money away on
something that likely will never happen? Of being gullible? Or.. of the
dedicated companies that offer these marginal services not making it, and
folding long before any sort of technology like this becomes available and
thawing out, like the guy's dad did in 'Host'.
These, not some wish for death and oblivion (let's face it, to qualiify for
cryonics you still have to die) are my motives for abstaining.
