I didn't want to waste time starting that computer, launching the application, opening the document, and scrolling through the text, just to quote a few words. I now see that I should have taken that trouble. But that bothered me too, because it was still papering over the truth. But I was never happy even with this sentence, because it does not define the difference between a direct cost and an indirect cost, and it still implies that the fund is entirely adequate, when in fact it has not been. In other words, it's a cop-out.
Financial security is an absolutely fundamental aspect of cryonics.
I did not want to feel I was in any way deceiving people on this subject. And yet, to some degree which I cannot measure, I think I WAS deceiving people. You will note that I kept this to myself until, really, you have forced me to express it in semi-public. Obviously, this represents a huge increase in the actual sum involved. So the patient care fund would be helping to pay for an area far larger than that actually occupied by the patients.
