<DIV>Hello,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I intend to sign up for cryopreservation with Alcor in the near future, but I'm not completely decided on which option I would prefer: Neuropreservation Option (head only) or full-body (head + body). Note: at this time, both options involve a supposedly successful vitrification of the brain. Right now I'm leaning toward Neuropreservation for a few reasons:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- brain structure preservation still seems to be marginally superior with Neuro.</DIV> <DIV>- easier transport in emergencies.</DIV> <DIV>- emergency conversion to Neuro option is not necessary.</DIV> <DIV>- possibly less likely to be the first revival guinea pig as a Neuro, and so perhaps a </DIV> <DIV> lower chance of a disastrously failed revival.</DIV> <DIV>- may actually be easier to revive a Neuro than a full-body- so extra money may be </DIV> <DIV> wasted-
and could lead to delay in revival.</DIV> <DIV>- a Neuro is substantially cheaper.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My inclination right now is to tentatively sign up as a Neuro, but to hopefully purchase a life insurance policy that will barely cover a full-body, in case I change my mind later.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I would like to get the opinions of other Cryonicists regarding which option is superior based on factors which I may have failed to list here. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best Wishes,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Jeffrey Herrlich <BR><BR></DIV><p>
