Subject: Re: Call for Input on Archetype Cryonics Trust

My input on Archetype Cryonics Trust is that it should be possible to use it 
as a vehicle for investments such as real estate, mutual funds, investment 
trust companies etc as well as life insurance policies. Life policies add an 
additional tier of management costs which are not necessary if the client 
has enough available funds for cryopreservation. The best course of action 
as has been stated by many people is to use term insurance whilst building 
the funds by ordinary investment. Insurance is for insurance whereas mutual 
funds etc are for investment. It is more efficient not to combine the two.

It would also be useful if versions could be made available that are 
revokable or irrevokable. If possible the latter is best to avoid litigtion 
etc. if the grantor can afford to make it irrevokable.
