Bingo!  "See you later" indeed.  

Terminal illness with a reasonably predictable course
is a winning lottery ticket.  It allows you to get a

       Although no one can quantify the probability of

       cryonics working, I estimate it is at least 90%

        -- and certainly nobody can say it is zero.
