The following is a straight excerpt from Robert Ettinger
on the cryonics list.
The bottom paragraph on how to help seems worth the
repost.

Subject: Michigan issues
The Cryonics Institute is surprised and disappointed by the
orders issued by the Michigan Department of Consumer
and Industry Services, which it believes are completely
unjustified.Since we have had the orders for only 24 hours,
we are still considering the precise courses of action that
we will take, including whether to proceed with litigation.
However, the Department's orders, which prohibit certain
activities pending resolution of the licensing issues raised
by the Department, do not in any way affect the care of
our current patients. Moreover, while we strongly disagree
with the Department's actions, we note that the Department
has stated that it does not wish to prohibit our activities, but
desires that they continue under the Department's licensing
process.While resolution of these issues proceeds, CI will
continue to protect the interests of its members. We will
promptly keep you apprised as to further developments.
In the event of litigation, we would welcome support in the
form of affidavits from cryonicists with academic credentials
as well as any CI members. Please contact David Ettinger
(dae@honigman.com) if you are interested in helping.
