To my knowledge, in the US there are cryonics patients in Arizona, California, and Michigan, and one in Colorado. They're not dependent on electricity, despite all the comic strips that show them being accidentally unplugged. But they are stored in liquid nitrogen, which has to be regularly replenished, as it gradually boils off. And it has been replenished, in some cases for over 53 years. I'm curious what's happening in California now that all "non- essential" businesses are shut down. Since the law doesn't recognize those patients as having any hope of revival, presuably both the cryonics firms themselves and the firms that manufacture and deliver the liquid nitrogen to them are considered non-essential. -- Keith F.
