"If cryonics actually makes sense, then everyone will want it, and it
will cost too much to the community. We better spend this money on
living people during their normal life."
Jaques, I can see where that might cause a problem in France.
In the U.S. there is no confusion between the concept of
"this money" vs "MY money".
Well, the U.S. outside of taxiforia, I mean. {8-]
Actually I see cryonics as more comparable to the 1960s fad
for bomb shelters. If I choose to spend my money on a shelter
or cryonics, either way it is my choice. It doesn't cost the
community anything, it dumps my horded wealth back into the
community.
I could argue further that my money IS spent on a living
person (me) during my normal life. The bills are already
paid by the time I actually expire.
