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.
