Meetup : Atlanta Lesswrong: Cryonics FAQ & Signing up Party!

Transhumanism, radical life extension, and cryonics are areas that typically have a large interest intersection with rationality. Our ATLesswrong Meetup has several people who expressed a desire for a more focused session to discuss cryonics and perhaps start the paperwork process in the company of supportive friends. So this is that session! Have you been cryo-crastinating? Do you have questions that you keep meaning to research, but haven't got around to yet? Do you want hear what the process is like from people who have gone through with it? Then come to this session! Please note that no one is going to pressured to sign up! Pros and Cons will be discussed (though obviously several of us have come to the conclusion that there are net pros). This is only informational, and help with paperwork IF YOU WANT IT. If you want to come fill out paperwork "just in case" you can do so, and make the decision whether to put it in the mail later. Issues of death and finances are deeply personal, and ALL feelings will be respected. (Anyone who is not respectful to the feelings of others will be asked to leave.) Agenda: (1) Provide information about cryonics, including the organizations you can sign up with, life insurance options, and feasibility discussions. Questions and Answers with people who have already signed up. (2) Put some signatures on some papers! For those who are at that stage of the process. (3) Celebrate! There will probably be libations. I will also send out an email when I get a chance about what to do to prepare for this session, if you'd like to get the paperwork ready. Check back for the text of the email here if you are not signed up for various mailing lists.
