Have you decided on a specific sum that you would spend based on your subjective impression of the chances of cryonics working?

Maybe $50. That's around the most I'd be willing to accept losing completely.

Nice. I believe that would buy you indefinite cooling as a neuro patient, if about a billion other individuals (perhaps as few as 100 million) are also willing to spend the same amount.

Would you pay that much for a straight-freeze, or would that need to be an ideal perfusion with maximum currently-available chances of success?
