It really isn't too hard and does provide some insurance against untimely death. Besides, you get some piece of mind and set a good example. But its not urgent. Consider the odds and act accordingly. If your old or in bad health, see Rudi's message about why you really shouldn't put it off any longer. (end) When discussing a cryonics policy, you are correct in saying it can be procrastinated without that much worry for awhile at least. But time is of the essence when it comes to obtaining life insurance to fund a cryonics policy, because as one gets older the rates get higher. And worst of all, a unforseen illness could strike that makes one unable to even get life insurance. I would like to hear more of Mike Darwin's experiences in this regard. I'm sure Fred Chamberlain and Robert Ettinger could also tell some sad tales. best regards, John Grigg ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13594
