Unless you mean pleasurable in a broader sense than equal, that's not necessarily the case. People can have other terminal values besides pleasure. (But I agree that being signed up for cryonics is unlikely to be one.)
I think she means that P(she will able to afford the premiums|she signs up now) is close to 1 and P(she will able to afford the premiums|she signs up in her late forties) isn't, not that the former is literally 1.
I meant it in a broad sense.
Then you might want to use a different term than “pleasurable”. I'd go with Fun (capital F), but “desirable” or “valuable” would also be OK.
