    ** Why can't you simply wait until you're near the end of your life to become a CI Member ? ** Quite simply, arranging for cryonic suspension is a process, and any process takes time. Arranging a cryonic suspension is not a snap decision or an instant process, so you need to prepare, to plan and to make all the necessary arrangements in advance. It's critical to remember the window of time required between legal death and successful cryonic suspension is very limited. Like a medical emergency, any delays can mean the difference between life and death so it is vital to have all of your legal, financial, standby, transport and other arrangements in place before your passing. The very worst thing we see, time and again, is the tragedy of people who were interested in joining, or thinking about joining, or leaning towards joining, but who put it off until it was too late. Then their wife or mother or child are in critical condition, or they've had an accident and it looks as though they're not going to make it, and they call us at the last minute to try to arrange a cryopreservation. And much as we want to ? we simply can't help them. Because we don't know a thing about the person on the other end of the line. It could be someone making a prank call. It's happened. The caller could claim to be able to pay, and not be able to, and leave us ? and our patients and members ? stuck. But worst of all, if we walk in sight unseen, we could be laying our organization in for untold legal problems. What if someone calls us in to cryopreserve his wife, and it turns out they're not married but only living together, and her parents are violently opposed to cryonics? We could easily be sued. And that could threaten all our patients and all of our members. We can't and won't take that chance. If someone calls in an emergency situation and is not a member, sometimes we are able to help, but more often we cannot. Remember: becoming a CI member doesn't force you to be cryopreserved, it only allows you to make arrangements with us to do so, if you want. Membership has its own rewards ? informational, social, and charitable. You can change your mind about being a Member and quit anytime you please. If you want more information, I am here to help you. Have a great evening. Best Regards, Stephan Beauregard, CI Director.
