Mountain Standard Time, Chris Manning writes: Regarding my own donation, I have indicated that if it can't be spent on Mr O'Rights then I want it applied to Marce Johnson. That would not be possible if it were gambled and lost. I think she is also short of the needed amount, though she has more than he does. Perhaps the amounts combined are enough for one person. Then maybe the amounts should be combined and lots drawn to see which one gets it. If she has, say, twice what he does then she'd deserve twice the chance, so she'd get two chips and he'd get one, to be drawn from a jar. In this way the money would stay in the cryonics community, as opposed to being lost to some casino. And if there were money left over, it could go to the loser's representative, who would bet it (probably on a long-shot bet paying 6-to-1 or whatever was needed) at a casino. As is, it looks like neither one will be preserved and someone will have to decide what to do with the money. I do agree that the contributors would have to agree to the plan.
