Subject: Signing up

I just want to vent frustration with the sign-up process, which I've been
in for 2 years, and which is bogged right down in the insurance side.

After two separate visits from medical people, and with a tangle of
manoeuvres to have a cryonics group as my beneficiary, it's all gone
nowhere, and I'm pissed off.

It's honestly hard enough to decide between cryonics companies, especially
as the more you look into them the more you make friends all over the
place, without having to have the choice then dragged over the rocks for
years.

I would also suggest that cryonics groups accepting advertising from
insurance people recognize that there *is* an implicit endorsement of
their ability to process the application successfully, and that if nothing
else they should do some kind of Consumer's Report analysis of success and
failure of insurance companies/representatives and publish it next to the
ads.
