X-Message-Number: 5473 Date: Mon, 25 Dec 1995 18:41:25 -0500 (EST) From: Ben Best <> Subject: Non-profit cryonics organizations Non-profit status does not necessarily create disincentives for an organization to receive funds without delivering service. A salaried employee of a non-profit organization prefers to see the organization strengthened to ensure the salary is continued or can increase. Moreover, the employee would rather have the organization receive income without the employee having to do work -- other things being equal. Things that might not be equal are professionalism on the part of the employee and an idealistic commitment by the employee to the goals of the non-profit organization. For a non-profit *cryonics* organization the situation is not quite the same. In this case the employees (or volunteers) will be concerned that they themselves may receive the same level of service that they deliver. This could be an argument for having the employees of cryonics organizations be cryonicists. But where non-cryonicist employees are supervised by cryonicists, and/or motivated by professionalism, this is less a matter of concern. -- Ben Best () Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5473
