Hello all.
I want to sign up for cryonics, but am not sure how. Is there a guide? What are the differences in the process for minors?
[I pressed enter in the comment box but there aren’t any breaks in the comment itself; how do you make breaks between lines in comments?] I’m a sixteen-year-old male from Louisiana in the US. I was raised Christian and converted to atheism a few months ago. I found Less Wrong from Eliezer’s site—I don’t remember how I found that—and have been lurking and reading sequences since.
Cryonics is expensive on a sixteen-year-old’s budget. Rudi can get you set up with something close to your price range. You can expect it to be the cost of life insurance, plus maybe $200 a year, with the Cryonics Institute. If you’re in good health, my vague expectation is that your life insurance will be on the order of $60/month.
This is judging by my experiences and assuming that these things scale linearly and that CI hasn’t significantly changed their rates.
You make breaks in the comment box with two returns.
Just one will not make a line.
As to your actual question, you should probably check your state’s laws about wills. I don’t know if Louisiana allows minors to write a will for themselves, and you will definately want one saying that your body is to be turned over to the cryonics agency of your choice (usually either the Cryonics Institute or Alcor) upon your death. You’ll also probably want to get a wrist bracelet or dog tags informing people to call your cryonicist in the event that you’re dead or incapacitated.

Putting two spaces after a line (before the line break) will produce a single line break, like this:
Line One
Line Two
Line Three
Putting two returns will produce a new paragraph like this:
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3

Press enter twice. I don’t know why.
