Prototype Cryonics Trust V. 1.0 First Draft Version 1.0  Cryonics Trust  

 

Note and Disclaimer:  This is Rudi Hoffman writing. To my knowledge there
is no “bulletproof” way to set aside assets for yourself to fund your
possible reanimation, and also to have you reanimated with a large amount
of wealth set aside for you.  

But THERE SHOULD BE!   The following is a effort that we as a group can
add to and upgrade to make the PROTOTYPE CRYONICS TRUST (the PCT), a
viable legal tool.  

I am not an attorney.  Any use of any verbiage that may seem appropriate
is hereby deemed to be strictly without implied or stated guarantee, and I
accept ZERO liablility both now and in the future for any usage of this or
any further iterations of the PCT that may be forthcoming.  

(Sorry to sound like such a weasal...my wife is (perhaps justifiably)
concerned about potential legal liability and has additional concerns
about me practicing what some attorneys call “Unauthorized Practice of
Law.”  This concern has been one of the stumbling blocks to getting actual
verbiage on the PCT for the last year.  I keep thinking “someone out there
is smarter, richer, has more time, and is going to do a PTC we can all
use”.  But it has not happened, so it is time to get this thing
“bootstapped” up.)  

Now I remember why I am a Libertarian.  It is a ludicrous state of affairs
when a reasonably intelligent and well educated person cannot state their
wishes regarding their own body and assets without fear of an groundless
lawsuit.  

If this is not enough disclaimers to satisfy everyone, make up some more.
Suffice it to say that we are all adults and no one is going come along
and give us a document that will allow us to hold onto our assets and
“Wake up wealthy”.   We have to do this. I MUST DO THIS.  I WILL DO THIS.
