Are you a life insurance salesman?

I don't currently have any dependents. If I have dependents in the future I think it would likely make more sense to ensure their financial security in case of my untimely death with term life insurance and still defer a decision on paying for cryonics.

I'm a British citizen and a permanent resident in Canada so health insurance issues are less of a concern for me than they might be for a US citizen. I have no family history of mental illness.

You can assume I will take appropriate steps to protect my assets from the threats you describe and others as I judge necessary and prudent.
