I don’t think I’m suggesting that people don’t have a self-directed component to their lives, though I suppose there could be some true “charity monks” or something out there. I’d be surprised, though, since I wouldn’t even count someone like Peter Singer as without self-directed elements to his life. I only left the potential exception there because I think there is a chance that someone reading the post will not have sufficient funds to purchase the life insurance necessary for cryonic preservation.
