   I am curious, however, if anyone has a good idea of the number of
   people currently in cryonic suspension? 

From the draft FAQ list (that hasn't been posted yet):

How many people are frozen right now?

   The July 1992 issue of Cryonics magazine, published by the Alcor
   Life Extension Foundation, includes a status report of all the
   approximately 60 people who have been cryonically suspended.  
   Over 40 of these are still in suspension today; the remainder have
   been thawed and buried because their cryonics organization failed
   financially.  According to Mike Perry's July 1992 Cryonics magazine
   summary of all known cryonic suspension patients, nobody suspended
   since 1978 has been thawed out, with one possible exception of a
   private suspension done in 1982 for which we have no further
   information.

   Also, how many different
   organizations worldwide have teams with the equipment to suspend
   people?

What suspension organizations are available?

When they took the fourth amendment, I was silent because I don't deal drugs.
When they took the sixth amendment, I kept quiet because I know I'm innocent.
When they took the second amendment, I said nothing because I don't own a gun.
Now they've come for the first amendment, and I can't say anything at all.
