Alcor offers you the option of specifying in (imho) excruciating detail under which conditions you want to be reanimated, including whether uploads are okay, how many people need to have been revived before you, and many free fields (where one can easily specify “I don’t want to be brought back unless X and Y or X and Z or Z and Q have happened”).
After I signed up I got a 10-page form where I could specify the conditions for reanimation, trying to find it right now.
Edit: I didn’t manage to find a PDF of this on the web, surprisingly.
Actually I think you did understand my post. What I’m confused about is that I wanted to have the option to specify “I don’t want to be brought back unless X and Y”, I asked them and they said they wouldn’t allow me to do this, and you said that they did allow you to do this. I asked a few years ago and got a similar answer.
Could someone else who signed up for Alcor reply to this and say if they got something like that?
I signed up with Alcor 26 years ago. I’m fairly sure they had a free-form field for preferences about when and how I’d want to be brought back.
I think the Alcor employee that I talked to about the form had some odd conditions on when he should be brought back, something like not until the fidelity of revival reached some theoretical perfection.
It’s been a while since I looked at the form, and perhaps my memory is incorrect and it only allows for restricted choices (such as upload vs. not upload). In this case I trust your memory more than mine.

But I asked Alcor specifically if something like this would be possible, and they said that it wouldn’t be. (Along with CI)
Oh, interesting. Then I probably misunderstood your post, apologies.
