I cannot profess to understand every detail of the material coming from 21CM
and similar posts, but I re-iterate - once this is a public company people
both within and without the cryonics movement will invest in it. When the
share price is up, you can have rights issues and raise more money. You can
have your web page linked off
http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Sauna/3748/shares.htm
and be associated with these major and highly successful companies that are
already doing research that would seem science fiction just a decade ago.

There are a lot of people out there who are vaguely aware of cryonics and
would be far more willing to invest in a biotechnology company doing
fundamental research than they would be to  either sign up for
cryopreservation themselves, or invest in a company that offers
cryopreservation *services* right now. Many cryonicists will consider this
irrational, but nevertheless you could get their money as shareholders, and
maybe in the future their custom as cryopreservation members.
