While it might be (I don't know) that these companies will not write policies if you initially declare a cryonics company as the beneficiary, it is highly likely that you can initially declare a relative or other person with an insurable interest, as a beneficiary, and then merely submit the company's beneficiary change form after they have given you a policy, and name the cryonics company. An acquaintance of mine who has one of the above-mentioned companies, did that very thing, and there were no problems. Is it possible that while such companies can certainly initially refuse to write a policy, that it is against the law for them to disallow the changing of a beneficiary? Anyway, I have to wonder why Rudi says that people who already have policies from these companies, should shop around.
