I have not signed up, although I have talked with Rudi Hoffman about the costs and I think about it often.
On a related note, I wonder about the ethics of enrolling a child (I have children). Any thoughts on that?
Would you give them a choice when it came to health insurance?
Enroll the child. It's much cheaper, and they'll thank you when they're older.
The evidence suggests that children resist the generational transmission of a commitment to cryonics. Marce Johnson, for example, had about 40 years through precept and example to impress upon her children the importance of cryonics to her, yet in the end one of the adult children with power of attorney had her cremated and then apparently told her cryonicist friends of the fact out of spite, even though the Venturists helped to raise money to give Marce a suspension at CI.
That's only one anecdote. It's also one of the most depressing things I've ever read.
