追逐长生梦的5大亿万富豪

罗伯特•米勒

    加拿大亿万富豪罗伯特•米勒行事低调——就像你看到的这张照片那样——他避免引起外界关注，不过这并不意外着他希望在死后销声匿迹。这位67岁的商界人士把富昌电子（Future Electronics ）打造成了世界第三大电子元器件分销商，他还为慈善事业慷慨解囊。不过有一个组织尤其引起他的兴趣：阿尔科尔生命延续基金会（Alcor Life Extension Foundation）。这个基金会采用人体冷冻或超冷温度，在宣告死亡后尽快保存人类的大脑。这个基金会的成员将在未来医疗技术发展后被重新唤醒。罗伯特•米勒捐赠了大量资金用于阿尔科尔基金会的研究，可以说是对自己的未来进行投资，因为米勒计划在死后实行冷冻保存。（财富中文网）

Robert Miller

    Canadian billionaire Robert Miller is a private man -- as you can see from this photo -- who avoids the limelight, but it doesn't mean he wants to disappear after he dies. The 67-year-old businessman who built Future Electronics into the world's third-largest electronics components distributor, has given his fortunes generously to charity. But one organization particularly intrigued him: the Alcor Life Extension Foundation, which uses cryonics or ultra-cold temperatures as soon as possible after legal death to preserve the brain. "Members" are to be reawakened when future medical technologies are developed. Miller has donated to much of Alcor's research, literally an investment in his future since Miller plans to be cryo-preserved after death.
