[extropy-chat] WSJ: A Cold Calculus Leads Cryonauts To Put Assets on Ice

[brent.allsop at comcast.net]

The WSJ said:
 
‘Such financial arrangements, which tie up money that might otherwise go to heirs or charities, are "more widespread than I originally thought," says A. Christopher Sega’
 
Why do they always put it like this?
 
Queen Latifah can spend all of her money in a completely wasteful last bash, not leaving any of it to “heirs or charity” and everyone cheers: “You go girl!”
 
But if someone lives a thrifty hard working life so he has $10 million in the end.  (while many of his pears respectfully waste all theirs on yachts, planes, space flights – or whatever) And wants to save only half of that remaining $10 million for himself – oh man – what an evil person!
