It's a bad strategy for someone who'll die soon, because they can't get life insurance. Cryonics is cheaper when young and healthy.

People who are young and healthy usually end up becoming people who are likely to die soon.

I'm guessing that's why it's a good strategy to get cryonics when you're young and healthy.

Many of the rates quoted are for term life insurance, which expires and becomes worthless after a certain number of years.
