"That is an excellent point" No it isn't: it's completely unrelated

The debate here is about "reanimation trusts:" whether they could prevent us from being taken seriously, embarrass cryonics, & just end up being tax revenue for a future government. It's about if they could make us look like crooks & force future generations to regulate us. What wasted money that would be!

And Cytosine, what weird issue will you bring up next that has nothing to do with what's actually debated?

No one's denying that wealthy people helped cryonics.

But do take in mind, before you guys start ranting about the greatness of the private sector, that the government played a huge role in technology - it funded the internet, medical research, & countless sciences through universities. The government has helped fund almost every technology you can think of.

I'm not attacking the private economy, but don't give it too much credit. Really the private economy tends to explode after the government accelerates an upcomming technology.
