Can I have my dog frozen, too?
Are there any pets in the Alcor freezers?

Alcor's membership administrator, Jennifer Chapman, asked
the board to establish a pricing policy for members' pets.
After extensive discussion among several board members,
Ralph Merkle made a motion that Alcor should provide a
$12,500 contribution to the Patient Care Trust for each
cryopreserved pet that fully occupies the type of container
that is normally used for a human neuropatient. Alcor
management may offer a reduced rate for pets (including
"neuropets") that are small enough to share a container.
Pets will be accepted only from Alcor members, who will be
warned that the funding amount does not include the very
conservative safety factor applied to human patients. Also,
in any hypothetical emergency, the safety of pets will be
considered secondary to the safety of human patients.
Alcor's directors agreed to these terms unanimously but pet
owners are cautioned that this summary does not include all
the conditions of our pet acceptance contract. Please
contact our membership administrator if you want full
information.

That's great.
I consider dogs to be persons. They have souls, too. As for cats, well ..., there persons, too, but I am what the slang lingo calls a "dog person".
Unfortunately, my 16 year old dog was lost in a freakish hiking incident, two years ago, and I still haven't gotten over it, and I probably never will. I'll just have to learn to live with it, the way I have learned to live with the death of my parents.
What the heck is a neuropet?
