Another take on wealth preservation trusts

Some people claim that wealth preservation trusts will make cryonics look even more ridiculous. I am not so sure about that. One of the reasons why some people reject cryonics is because of its futurism. Some cryonicists leave their family (sometimes even their wife or husband) behind to jump into a distant, unknown, future. Taking your pets and/or money with you makes the whole undertaking more conventional and recognizable to people.

As Robert Ettinger has recently pointed out, most people are not interested in some unknown and exotic future. They just want to survive with what they know and (I think) WHAT THEY OWN, but better. If we want to present cryonics as a form of (advanced) medicine, we would do well by keeping other aspects of it normal as well. Some people are attracted to cryonics because it's "strange" and appeals to their desire to overcome the limits of humanity. But most people do not operate like that at all. The option for people to keep their money will make cryonics look less bizarre, and more conventional.

I do agree that wealth preservation trusts should be set up as independent entities. This also has the advantage that the needs of long term wealth preservation will not dictate the operations of other aspects of cryonics. We do not need other another "long term stability"-excuse to tolerate incompetence and waste at cryonics organizations.
