Actually I posted a comment below the article, quoting an Alcor representative’s clarification:
“Most Members submit a Statement of Revival Preferences document to state your expectations upon revival.
Alcor cannot guarantee that it will be followed since it will be many years into the future before you are revived.
I have attached the document for your review.” (and the document was very detailed)
So Alcor says that they actually are willing to do this and are trying, although they of course can’t guarantee that society won’t in the future decide to force revive people against their will anyway.
ah, yeah that’s true, I did know that actually. What some of the people I know want though is to be thawed after a certain condition rather than simply not being reanimated, and ir I remember correctly, when I asked Alcor, they said they couldn’t do that. Conditions included AI progress and family not being preserved (or somethings along those lines)
