Alcor may eventually put a perfusion facility in Oregon, but at the moment, if you get something terminal, it's best to move to Phoenix. Alcor has cooperative hospice organizations there. People who quit eating/drinking seldom take more than a week or ten days to meet the legal requirements to be suspended. > If I end up with something like Alzheimer's it would be pointless to freeze a > vegetable. It depends on how much fine brain structure is lost. We really don't know how much is lost. A lot of disseminated strokes might be even worse. > I've met some authors who believe in the afterlife.

That must have been some time ago. Lafferty was certainly a unique author. It's worth meeting the local cryonics suspension members. There are quite a few of them in the LA area. Also, my wife used to help people get their suspension paperwork in order. Write me if you want to talk to her.
