While it is always best to initially choose a company that has a history of writing and paying out on cryonics policies (such as the ones Steve suggested), this little trick has been used many times in cryonics. (I used it myself when I bought my cryonics coverage 10 years ago.) Anyone know why life insurance companies don't seem to scrutinize new beneficiaries as closely the initial ones? I recall Yvan Bozonnetti wrote earlier this year that he couldn't find a life insurer in France that would sell a life insurance policy with a cryonics company as a beneficiary. Perhaps, Yvan, you should purchase a policy with a relative as the beneficiary, and then later try changing it to a cryonics company. *************************************************************************** Brian Wowk CryoCare Foundation 1-800-TOP-CARE President Human Cryopreservation Services http://www.cryocare.org/cryocare/ Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=6318
