Best of luck to her. Though I am curious, are you hiding the fact of her preservation from the authorities or just from her other friends and family? If the authorities, what would/could they actually do? Would there be a stiff punishment for ‘desecration of a corpse’ or other such nonsense, or are you worried that someone might take her out of cryo? I have heard of a case where a cryo facility here in the US was shut down, but they didn’t actually thaw anyone. Hopefully Russian authorities would be at least that sensible.
In fact I am more afraid about “moral pressure” from close friends. The existance of Criorus is well known to public by many TV shows.
Of course one day authority could come and ask them—where is the documents?
But in her will is said that she donate her brain for scintific study, this is legal.
If it is in her will, then she is probably safe enough. I do understand your wanting to hide the fact from her friends. Being a member of one of the first few generations to be frozen, she is a pioneer in cryonics, and acceptance is always tough for pioneers. In this case however, the pioneers might just live to see a world where people are actually thankful for what they did.
