The fact that I have $50,000 in life insurance available for cryonics and Alcor isn't interested tells us something about Alcor. They've lost touch with reality... and THAT in a business which most people think has lost touch with reality to begin with. The least Alcor could do is INVENT a program for people with 50K. Don't you think? Respond here.

End of 2012 signals end of first year of my anti-sign up move.
by Rick Potvin
For the first time in 20 years, I've gone a year without being signed up for cryonics. You can read the rest of that story elsewhere on this blog. I still intend to be cryopreserved but not at the cost of my late life survival and comfort. I'm apparently not willing to pay for the potential for physical immortality with everything I have. Some cryonicists are but most cryonicists who are secure with their arrangements have prodigous sums of money on hand and have been having private meetings called wealth preservation meetings. It might be that cryonics is a cover for wealth preservation. This doesn't preclude the possibility that cryonics can be real but it makes it harder to detect real cryonics from the phony front for wealth accumulation. In any case, since Alcor renegged on their grandfathering policy, the game is too rich for me.
