That's a rather interesting idea, but it should be able to work in the free
market as well. Get a lot of people to pledge a certain amount of money
for significant life extension. For twenty years I'd be willing to put up
$10,000. Now, just get 100,000 people to do this as well and you would
have a prize worth one billion. How many immortalists are there?
