It is difficult to trust the probability calculations proferred by people who have an interest to convince themselves that they have made the right choice in selecting cryonics. So it may be useful to also get numbers from people who will suffer if cryonics succeeds. What I have in mind is buying insurance that will pay you in case it becomes technically feasible to revive you (not in case you are actually revived, so as not to give somebody an incentive to go to court and hold up your revival even when it is technically possible to do so). This insurance may be a good idea in any case, because if you are revived you will probably need the money. If an insurance company thinks that the chances are very small, we may be able to buy this insurance very cheaply. Can anybody help me with information on how to find insurance companies or agents who specialize in insuring odd events like these?
