Yes, there is certainly a need to plan for bringing us back. A small amount, invested wisely over the course of several hundred years should be more than adequate to make grant us good lifestyles in the future. If you look at Ralph Merkle's cost estimates for whole body storage using economies of scale, the actual cost of an Alcor grade preservation with local processing rather than transport is less than $2600 and you'd eventually get trucked in bulk to the storage facility once frozen. With 5,000 - 200,000 people getting stored in each "Really Big Dewar," most Funeral Directors or hospitals would be providing the necessary services in an assembly line fashion. The rest is left for profits and improvements and money for Alcor's Charitable Trust which is established to help bring members back when I suggest a $5000 price point.
At a $5000 price point, you can basically freeze yourself and 50 friends and family members for the cost of planning for a $250,000 neuro suspension with standby services. If you get a $2-7M insurance policy, you might be able to give this gift to all the descendants of your family and friends, or at least subsidize a pretty substantial amount for them. So it makes sense to me that there is a good moral argument for accelerating the Really Big Dewar that many are planning. When you can give the gift of nearly eternal youth, why not just get it out of the way so your beneficiaries can live knowing that they will get this opportunity and let them instead worry about the lives they're living now? In my mind, we must do this, the excessively high price point is exclusionary where no exclusion needs to be made. There either is enough space and resources for us all, or we can go get the resources we need from asteroids and radiation proof orbital ring colonies. We can dream big.
