Hi Jane!

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,
