By doing so, I have become aware of a means of making a donation called a Gift Annuity. The idea behind the gift annuity is to make a large lump sum donation to which you retain the rights to a 7% to 12% return on the donated money, until you die. Upon your death, all of the money remains with the organization to which your gift was made. I am curious as to whether or not cryonic suspensions could be funded in such a way. One of the main reasons that I have not signed up for cryonic suspension yet is that I need the return on my savings for living expenses. Were it possible to pay for suspension in a way similar to the gift annuity I would sign up tomorrow. Any thoughts?
