FAQ

probabillity

probability of developing beneficial superintelligence: 15%

probability of brain cryopreserved under current ideal conditions preserving a significant part of your identity: 35%

- I'm guessing this probability will keep increasing over time; if you die in 2 decades, then it could be 50% at that point for example

probability of being preserved under ideal conditions: varies substantially from person to person

- when you're doing an operation, maybe Alcor would be willing to fly there during the operation

- although iirc Alcor has something about recent members dying, so would need to check this out

- for someone using assisted suicide, then it seems to me like that would increase that probability significantly

probability of your body remaining preserved long enough conditioning on the above: 75%

So maybe 2% overall. But I personally instinctively care more about probability 2 and 3 when it comes to deciding whether to discard my brain

pain

iianm, after the patient legally dies (and so probably isn't conscious), Alcor gives aesthetic meds that would make a living patient unconscious (usually used for some surgeries)

once your body is at liquid nitrogen temperature, for all practical purposes, there are no more chemical reaction going on in your body (so it seems to me no more subjective experience)

life insurance

you can sign up using "standard Life insurance", but needs to be with a company that has a high rating (at least an A- A.M. Best rating; source:

https://www.alcor.org/library/insurance-agents/⁠

); you can ask any life insurance agent or used one Alcor recommends on their website

speed

in terms of how quick, the most important is the first phase given chemical reactions happen exponentially faster with temperature. there are often long delays during preservations, but during a high risk surgery, i think Alcor would prepare in some capacity. there are multiple case reports on Alcor's website. iirc, this contain some of the best cases:
