The idea of "financing" a suspension is interesting enough to be pursued. If the term of the financing matched the members expected future lifespan, we'd have a way around the fact that cryonics groups can't offer anything which even resembles insurance. I hope you plan to look into it more deeply on the legal side. I personally have regretted for some time that we could not have dues which depended on the age the person first signed up. Perhaps your idea would be a way around that --- but naturally it does need much deeper study. If you don't plan to look into it more deeply, I hope someone on Cryonet who is legally qualified will do so. Long long life, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3023
