I recently finished the Sequences, and I'm convinced about cryopreservation (well, convinced that it's a good idea; not 100% convinced it will work...) but I'm not sure what to do next.

Is there any known reason to sign up for Alcor vs Cryonics Institute (or some other org that I'm not familiar with)? I'm young (22) and healthy, if that matters.

I think Alcor is generally seen as better and more expensive. But it's all a bet on the relative stability of the companies; if one of them goes bust, I'm pretty sure you can redirect your insurance policy beneficiary, so the important thing is to get that setup early...

Any suggestions besides Rudi Hoffman for finding insurance policies? I requested a quote from him on Monday, but haven't yet heard back.

I live in the UK, and only know one financial advisor here: http://www.ioxfordshire.co.uk/profile/201058/Wantage/415-Independent-Financial-Planners/
