Re: Like those Chryogenic companies

"Of course the this is all covered in Larry Niven's Known Space stories. "

Also the basic premise of "The Joy Makers" by James Gunn. In that story a person is only frozen if there is a substantial cash endowment invested for them. They are defrosted when the account has increased to a sufficiently large amount to pay for the restoration process. The central character happily enters into the future hedonistic culture without realising that he is then rapidly exhausting his residual funds.

Do the current billionaires who elect to be frozen also set up a trust fund for when they are defrosted?
