I wonder if any insurance companies have policies that cover cryonics? I have emailed a friend who is pretty tied in with the Alcor people in Austin Texas (as well as other cryonics companies, and in other locales) whom I asked for some info about what to do about paying for the service.

It seems that some form of indentured servitude should be available if they really have a belief that reanimation of some sort is possible.

You can pay for cryonics with life insurance.

Wooo... Hooo... I just talked to a friend in Texas, too, who gave me info on an Alcor plan (he runs Alcor Meetups in Austin TX), and it seems that they have plans that one can buy as well (on installments).

I need to get this set up as soon as I can. I would rather not worry about being hit by a truck and not being prepared.
