X-Message-Number: 30963 From: "Chris Manning" <> References: <> Subject: Re: Robert Ettinger's idea Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 21:49:40 +1000 I didn't understand this the first time I read it, but I have just re-read it and I think I understand it now. What Robert is proposing is a three-way interest-free loan. Am I right? Yes, an excellent idea. Not sure why interest-free. Maybe there would be legal problems if he charged interest. For myself I have already made a donation and I think I have done my bit if you consider that it would only require about one cryonicist in seven to match my donation and the required money would be raised. Bob, I don't mean to be rude, but as you are approaching your 90th birthday, isn't it likely that some of the moneys will have to be paid into your estate? And I take it your own suspension funding is taken care of. (Or perhaps you get a complimentary suspension?) > Message #30949 > From: > Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:15:56 EDT > Subject: O'Rights fund > > Here's a possibility.
