Cryonics
I'm considering signing up with the Cryonics Institute. Are you signed up? I'd be interested to hear your reasons why or why not. It does of course sound crazy, but when you press past that initial reaction to find out why it's crazy, I haven't heard a really satisfactory argument yet, and I'm interested to hear what people think. There are many reasons it might not work, but are there reasons to think it's really unlikely to work? How likely does recovery need to be for it to be worth it?

If you want the payout to be indexed with inflation, the cheapest company offering that a) ignores RPI increases of less than 1%, b) won't increase by more than 10% - so a few years of 1970s/80s level inflation will wipe out most of the value - and c) will up your premium by twice RPI. Another one will increase both cover and premiums by 5% a year.
If you want it to index better than that, you're looking at about £240 a month.

It defaulted to term insurance, but you can tell it you want whole life.
