This is an issue I don't feel we talk about enough, we spend alot
of time talking about the cost of suspension, but little or none
about the cost of revival.
It would seem we are talking about either a new financial
instrument, or serious modifications of existing ones, there may be
laws that need changing....
In Bruce Sterlings transhumanist novel "Holy Fire" the heroine
pays for her life extension process by signing over 95% of her
considerable assets, earned after a lifetime of conservative
investing, frugal living, and compound interest, "even inanimate
objects can get rich that way."
Things we need to talk about......
