this is the only available option to not die.

I don't know, I like the option of locking yourself in a vault when you're about to die so that time travellers can come and rescue you without changing history, since nobody can see into the vault.

Okay, I lied, I don't like that option, but it's not worse than cryonics, and does count as another available option./

I want to emphasize that I neither endorse nor oppose the conclusion that polyamory or cryonics are rational, just point out that they are included in discussion here, in large part, because of how they impinge, or are presumed to impinge, on rationality.
