X-Message-Number: 6543 Date: 16 Jul 96 11:02:35 EDT From: "Kent, Saul" <> Subject: Thomas Donaldson's Question Thomas Donaldson asked me to comment on his statement that "both Steve Bridge and Bob Ettinger see the possible loss of their tax-free status if they become associated with Prometheus." My comment is that, I do not believe that is their concern. I believe the issue that was raised was the question of whether there is any risk to the tax-free status of a cryonics organization if a member who invests money through a donation to his or her organization is given proxy rights in the company being invested in. I do not believe there is any legal problem with cryonics organi- zations investing money and owning stock in a for-profit company, nor do I believe any of the leaders of the cryonics organizations are concerned about this. ---Saul Kent Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6543
