They charge a $25,000 or $50,000 fee for non-members—I would assume they would refuse you membership if you came to them very late in life. As far as their assumptions about at what age you can become a member, you may be right but I my guess is these fees are only used to support their front-office on a year-to-year basis.
Presumably I’d switch in time to avoid that huge penalty (which I wasn’t aware of, thanks). If I have a chance, I’ll try and dig around to see what those fees are for. If you’re correct, then it would seem that there’s no downside to signing up with CI and then switching in two or three decades.
(Other than the risk that I’d actually die between now and then and be frozen in an inferior way. But realistically, if I die between now and then it will most likely be a surprise and I doubt Alcor can do much better with surprises than CI; maybe I’m wrong.)
