What is the legal status of cryonics patients ?
Cryonics patients are legally dead, and thus legally regarded as inanimate objects that can be possessed by others, but have no legal rights. Efforts to create special legal rights for cryonics patients (like cryopreserved embryos) for wealth preservation have been made by the cryonics Asset Preservation Group. For details on progress in this area, read the section on “Personal Revival Trusts” in Fourth Asset Preservation Group meeting.
