It seems worth noting that I have opted for neuropreservation instead of full body, at least at this time, in large part due to price difference. The “inclination to cryopreserve my full body” noted above, was not sufficient to sway my choice.
What seems ideal to me would be doing both: remove the head from the body, and then cryopreserve, and store, them both separately. This would give you the benefit of a faster perfusion of the brain and ease of transport in an emergency, but also keeps the rest of the body around on the off-chance that it contains personality-relevant info.
I might consider this “option” [Is this an option? As far as I know, no one has done this, so it would presumably be a special arrangement with Alcor.] when I am older and richer.
