then you’d better not have turned down any loans with APY less than 900%.
Since I was unemployed with no assets, I wasn’t (until very recently, i.e. yesterday) eligible for any kind of personal loan.
By how many orders of magnitude?
Mortality rate in your late 20s is low, and when you add that accidents, sudden deaths and murder are already very bad for cryo, that is further compounded.
Then you have the problem that I’m not in the USA (I plan to eventually move, once my career is strong enough to score the relevant visa); being in the US is the best way to ensure a successful, timely suspension. If you are in Europe you have to both pay more for transport and you will be damaged more by the long journey, assuming you die unexpectedly in Europe.
And how does the value of cryonics go up as your mortality rate does?
Well obviously it is worth more to mitigate death if your death is more likely. Especially when the kinds of ways you die when young are bad for yoir cryo chances.

OTOH it looks like the mortality in your late 20s in the EU is less than half that in the US.
Yeah, but I’m not planning on magically becoming a randomly chosen 29 year old American male. If you condition on being wealthy and living in Mountain view or something I would expect the correlation to go away.
