Among other things, self-reliance means having to be responsible for everything yourself. Much easier to just pay someone to take care of the details, if you have the money. And remember, this is immortality for a copy of you, at the expense of permanently destroying original you." Bill paused, then shrugged in dismissal. "On the other hand, there has been a lot of interest in postmortem corpsicle storage in real, and in fact, companies have been springing up all over the colonies, offering to warehouse people after death, just like with Original Bob. Except now they use stasis pods, so there’s nothing irreversible about it. And they’re doing a booming business."
