Cryonics. A tax on people who are bad on biology.

It's not like there's much else to spend the money on, what with being dead and all.

No, just the usual things, ending world hunger, helping your city, sponsoring a university, cancer research, your children, etc.

And even if you're that selfish, you could always throw some great parties with models and champagne, or pay to have your enemies killed...

You don't care about anything that will outlast you?

I admit my biology is a little rusty, but does the current process of freezing people mean there will never be a future technology to revive them?

Our technology has progressed enormously in the last 300 years and most likely will continue for another 300 years. So to me cryonics seems to be a reasonable investment.
