Speculation:

It would be easy enough to erase memory of death and they wouldn't even 
know they had died if they are in a simulated "carry on" world. Such a 
world could include immortality-without-cryonics being developed within 
the subject's lifetime and he would always be unaware that he is in a 
simulation.

But:

what about the time, space and power taken by running the simulation?
