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?

An indication as to how much is made from term life insurance is the way that when we did it around JA's birth, the first 15 months of premiums went to pay the commission. So the insurer gets no money for more than the first year of a 18 year policy and still expects to profit.
