Hi, thanks for the link, I just went and filled out Rudi’s form, just in case. However, I’m not expecting it to do any good as I’m a UK citizen.
A while ago, ciphergoth gave me an e-mail address for a UK cryonics organisation, and I tried it, but I got no response from them, and I think a couple of other Cambridge types have tried to make contact and got no response, which makes me think that they may not be that reliable at showing up quickly at death scenes either.
CI seem cheap at $28000, so even though I’m not at all sure that a copy of me waking up knowing that it’s me is what I mean by immortality, and also believe we’re all going to be wiped out by a negative singularity or other risk in the meantime, I’d be happy to sign up for partial peace of mind.
But the difficulty of speedy freezing and then guaranteeing the progress of a frozen corpse from England to CI seems like a bit of a showstopper.
Can anyone think of a good solution to this problem?

Alcor list a UK based agent on their website, which might be a better bet if Rudi doesn’t work out.

Eerrm, obviously one good solution is ‘move to America’, but that’s a big change to make for a long shot. I like it here!
