Dear Perry Metzger:
Switzerland also has a rule against perpetuities, which means that
any arrangement you make with them will ultimately fail. That is ONE
purpose of a cryonic society.

As for professional management of a trust fund, I would suggest (and I
do think this would be an improvement) that Alcor's Suspension Fund be
managed by a normal trust fund manager (Union Bank of Switzerland?).
But ultimately Alcor would be responsible for it.

As for unbundling, the problem isn't with unbundling ESSENTIALLY. It's
with the currently small number of cryonics activists. Unbundling would
cause a LARGE increase in workload. As I said before, if you want to
become a cryonics activist, go to it. So issues comparing us to Chrysler
just aren't relevant.
				Best
