One question has occurred to me that I don't think has ever appeared in a Cryonet posting. I'm concerned that I may be boxing myself in by relying on life insurance, at least term life insurance, to pay for cryostasis. What happens if, god forbid, I should survive past the end of my term insurance period? I'm currently 58 and am looking around for 20- or 30-year term insurance. Should I go for the 20-year term, and pay about half the premium/year, or go for the 30-year term? What would be my chances of picking up a 10-year term policy 20 years from now? Or another 20-year term policy? My weight, health, and exercise habits are excellent. My blood workups are dandy. My mother is 92 and still going strong. Maybe I should just go for whole life? (Could this be the start of another "probability" thread? If so, I apologize in advance.) --------------070808010706060709010606 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15 [ AUTOMATICALLY SKIPPING HTML ENCODING! ] Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19997
