I think by the time we have self-activating machines of this capacity the time for cryonics will be past. After some rather gruesome experiences, descendants have no control over a person who is in suspension. We have a saying in the cryonics world, being suspended is the _second_ worse thing that can happen to you. The insurance companies would prefer you never collected. Alcor has about 80 in storage at this time and around 850 signed up. Some of them are known SF writers.
