The big money guys in cryonics always seem to be able to actually 'take it with them' after all since the estates simply disappear. Laughlin put his in a dead-hand trust in N. Dakota, Kent's estate seems to be operating to a degree but Faloon, Wowk and others have said nothing as far as I can find, and now Pizer's estate isn't obviously here nor there. Alcor continues to 'struggle' on meagre sums as far as I know with most donations going to a hidden "patient care" trust. Nothing like a cryonics-retirement-residence, as helpful as that would be, ever evolved.
The property for sale on Cave Creek MIGHT have been a 'cool' site for a cryonics retirement campus and residence, being in a good zone for that type of thing and near enough to Alcor to be useful but of course, I'm concocting a cartoon vision that will never actually exist in this universe. Still it's fun to contemplate for a few minutes. I'm sure my vision is coming from the quantum level of reality where cryonicists refuse to look for clues about reality and the human mind.
