If your objective is to live forever, you may want to consider the possibility that plastination or some other alternative to cryonics that has a different price will show up in the future, and plan you finances accordingly. You could also donate part of the proceedings for CSER or the new X-risk Tegmark institute so that you still have an incentive for it even while your future mind is shifting aruond regarding cryonics.
Hello,
one question that I don't see answered is what is the duration of your life insurance? Should I buy life insurance for 20,30 years or unlimited?
I could pay more for a longer life insurance or pay less for an insurance that will cover 20 years and invest the difference and then some so that by the end of 20 years I will *hopefully* have enough money to pay for cryonics out of my own pocket.
Has anyone done an analysis on that?
