The social ones. I actually probably value this higher than 1. Explaining to my loved ones my decision, having to endure mockery and possibly quite strong reactions
You have to play a Long Game here, something I find increasingly easy to do as I have reached my 50′s. I told my original “loved ones”—my mother, my father (divorced from the former), and my sister—about cryonics a quarter century ago. They all considered it weird, but then whatever problems that might have caused me tend to correct themselves with time. My father died last October, for example, and now his ashes reside in a veterans’ cemetery in Arkansas.
As for other “loved ones,” I have had no candidates for that role so far. (Don’t sign up for cryonics for the dating prospects, in other words.)
