For some reason the text of my original post didn't make it on Cryonet

This doesn't always happen when you buy stocks, real estate and other 
investments subject to rapid devaluations. And we certainly don't know that 
we'll "win" by "voting" for cryonics with our money, though cryonics exists 
in a kind of economic gray area. The market over the last generation has 
rejected cryonics as a waste of resources, otherwise cryonics organizations 
could sustain themselves as regular businesses by now. Instead cryonics has 
hung on precariously through a kind of privately financed 
command-and-control economy.

Manage your risk, not your terror.
