How much will reanimation cost ?
No one can predict future costs. Nonetheless, there is a pattern of new technologies being expensive initially and then becoming progressively less expensive. It cost about three billion dollars to sequence the first human genome, but by 2018 sequencing a human genome is projected to cost as little as $1,000. Reanimation would not be expected to occur until reanimation costs had dropped well below the level of the principal fund set aside to pay for cryonic storage. However, eager friends and relatives may contribute money toward an earlier reanimation.
