The point is that the money is not needed until a person is beyond medical help. At that point the choices are
1. burning
2. rotting
3. cryopreservation
There are no other alternatives. Once choices 1 or 2 are taken then money is a meaningless concept.
Now in the society in which we live lawyers have made it very difficult to leave money reliably for this or anything else. Therefore some money odes have to be spent during life in order to set up a trust and/or take out life insuranmce. But it need not be a lot. Cryonics is reliant on technology progress - all you need do is to invest in technology and if enough progress is there to make cryonics work, then a relatively small amount invested in a technology mutual fund will do the trick. For more on this and investment in general, please see http://www.geocities.com/longev ity rpt/shares.htm
