I was thinking about which people you trust in important matters-- spouses or the equivalent, employees, employers, doctors, investments, that sort of thing. If you'd like a LessWrongian flavor, who would you trust to take care of your affairs while you're frozen, and why?

When it comes to doctors and therapists, my general approach is:

Seek recommendations from people I trust who are in a position to know. Try them out. If it's not working, find someone else.

We're on our 8th speech therapist.

Would you care to post about what can go wrong with speech therapists?

Do you mean material possessions or your body?

Either or both.

For material possessions, I plan to establish a trust and appoint a child or grandchild who is already signed up. Right now, I don't trust either option with my body but will probably go with Alcor because of where I live.

Hmm. I think I know were to find some good social psyc data on related to that. I don't think I can do it today, but I may be able to write a summary of it tomorrow.
