there’s that, but if that was all it was, it wouldn’t be harder than doing your own income taxes by hand. A lot more people manage that, than do atheists who can afford it manage to sign up for cryonics.
I live in the UK, and when I was self-employed I had an accountant do my taxes. I’m looking into signing up, and it looks to be much, much harder than that; not an “oh, must get around to it” thing but a long and continuing period of investigation to even find out what I need to sort out. This bar currently seems very, very high to me; if it were as simple as getting a mortgage I’d probably already be signed up.
The quote I was given for whole-life (constant coverage, constant premiums, no time limit) is $1900 per year (I’m 40, male and healhty), for a payout of $200K.
The more problematic news is that the life insurance company may start requiring a US Social Security number.

Rudi Hoffman has sent word back.

Wow, that’s a lot. Thanks!
Yes. The major conclusion here is—if you are going to sign up, sign up early.
