Is that $9000 figure for a term life insurance policy that becomes worthless after a number of years have passed, or for "whole life insurance" that pays off when you die, regardless of when that happens to be?

Note, though, that you're talking about costs for people living in the First World. If you live in Sudan, for example, I doubt you can get access to cryonics short of paying for it all upfront in full: after all, who would want to insure someone's life when they live in such a deadly country.
