Due to an increased expectation for reanimation it often reduces anxieties about death and related stress. It also works very well as a catalyst of financial gratification. People who earn more money with their profession than is required to pay for the basics (food, accommodation, participation in traffic, medicine, etc.), often make investments in security. Not only a lock in the door and a fire extinguisher in the corridor enhance security, but there are also a variety of insurances to enable payments for various needs. One insurance that works as a very profitable financial investment is life insurance. Investments into a life insurance are way less risky in terms of financial losses than securities like stock papers or mutual funds. Usually, the greatest financial payout from life insurance occurs when the insured person dies. Such an occurrence benefits one's heirs quite more, unless one's brain is deemed for cryonics. Thus, the financial benefit from such payouts will be for revival after cryonic suspension. Since the value of life is unlimited, life insurance is turning into a negotiable financial gratification for cryonicists instead of one's heirs. Cryonicists love it that way while insurers get happy as well. Not anyone, not even in all wealthy nations, can easily become a good parent from cryonics and the purchase of life insurances. Regarding life insurances for families in Germany, one might get into trouble with them when special needs require to apply for some social benefits from the goverment. The government only pays them when the recipient has a low financial estate up to a certain level. A coverage of life insurance which is high enough for cryonics renders a level of real estate higher than allowed for the recepients of above mentioned social benefits. So when a family fails to getting signed up for cryonics, it can stem from their poverty within a legislative of riches and not from what can be reviled as lousy parents. -- Immer auf dem Laufenden!
