命运号角

The cryonics company comes under ownership with different values and they decide to give up on the patients. Or, more maliciously, a cryonics-hater makes a too-good-to-refuse offer to the owners of a cryonics company with the intention of shutting it down. All major cryonics companies claim that they’re run and always will be run by passionate cryonicists and this is not a possibility—but again, who knows.
冷冻公司接到很多高价的收购，他们决定放弃服务会员。更严重的，冷冻反对者出高价要求关闭冷冻公司。各大冷冻公司声称他们不会这么做的，热情的冷冻专家会继续运营公司，但这并不可能，再说了，谁会知道呢。

The longer the green segment is and the longer it needs to hold out, the higher the chance of failing If 3. If patients can be revived 40 years from now, there’s a lot less that can go wrong than if revival doesn’t become possible for 2,500 years.
绿条越长，冷冻公司遇到的阻碍越多，条件3失败的可能性越大。40年后会员复活比2500年后复活的可能性大得多。

But the companies are doing their best to plan for the long run. On the question of how long until revival becomes possible, Alcor says, “Some think it will take centuries before patients can be revived, while others think the accelerating pace of technological change might so rapidly transform our world that decades would suffice. Alcor is planning for however long it might take.”
冷冻公司在尽他们最大的努力维持运营。多久才能复活是最大问题，Alcor公司说有的人认为是几个世纪后，有的人说技术在加速进步改变着世界，达到复活也就需要几十年吧。无论多长时间，Alcor都在时刻准备着。
