Subject: An incentive to manage reanimation trusts.
From: MARK PLUS <>

The Anticult on Rick Ross's Cult Education Forum seems stuck on the
idea that the people nominated as trustees of a cryonicist's
reanimation fund would immediately steal the money after the
cryonicist dies.

Dr. Steve Harris counters that this almost never happens to all kinds
of posthumous trusts in the real world.

So why would that happen to reanimation trusts? Trustees of fortunes
which don't belong to them gain status by showing that they don't
abuse their positions. An honest trustee signals to other people that
he has integrity and good character, even if the trust he manages and
protects has some unusual but defensible purpose.
