I've mailed the INC a check for US$100, and I hope to be able to send more money next month. I know it's not much, but I'm working on getting my finances into a situation where I can support some kind of cryonics-related research on a regular basis. After all, in a rational hierarchy of needs, survival takes priority over self-indulgent nonsense like "self-esteem" and "personal fulfillment." Is the INC able to accept Visa or MasterCard debit cards where it can charge a fixed amount every month?
