X-Message-Number: 28580 Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 00:55:00 -0600 From: Subject: Thanks to Rudi and Mike Apology accepted, Rudi, and it could have been much shorter. You could have taken 10% of the time you did writing that message, and used the other 90% to answer my original inquiry: >Tell us what they had to say about their new >Reanimation Fund. You've already talked about the idea - you were going to >do one yourself, I believe. How's that coming along? Or is it the same as >Alcor's? Or did they trump yours? I do look forward, though, to hearing from you on that, when you make the time. In case some readers are wondering why I keep asking Rudi about this, it has to do with his CryoNet post 28445 in which he says: "The magic leverage of life insurance can not only fund your SUSPENSION. It can create huge amounts of tax free wealth. These amounts can be distributed in multiple trusts, in different venues with multiple trustees. "These can be structured to help ENABLE your resuscitation! "The patient care trusts of CI and ALCOR are collective...and certainly may not be sufficient. "I am still working out details, but I will soon be announcing the next GREAT BREAKTHROUGH in cryonics funding. "It will be REAL magic...the kind that emerges from a foundation built on principles that have endured for centuries and are likely to continue to endure...even through the Singularity and beyond. "Good news is on the way...We are going to find a way to put granite solid funding under our castles and fairy houses, and make the promise of physical immortality a realistic possibility. I am proud to be in this epic adventure with you..." Mike (99), the Part I was interesting. Hope to see Part II when you can - maybe it will have some clues about Alcor's new fund?
