Yes. Cryonics companies want to grow, and they have lots of plans for
how to spend the money and how to scale up. The real problem seems to
come if we see rapid, unexpected growth. Even with the additional
capital that would come from increased memberships and cryonic
suspensions, it will take time to convert the additional income into
additional manpower. (Facilities are not the problem. It's getting
enough skilled labor to do all those potential suspensions.)
