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?)
