INSIGHT

The Critical Difference Is Perfusion And Vitrification

  • The key cryonics shift is from 'freezing corpses' to vitrification and immediate post-death perfusion.
  • Hoffman explains replacing water with vitrification agents via vasculature perfusion to avoid ice crystal damage.
ADVICE

Use Joint Ownership To Keep Control Of Policy Cash Value

  • Do structure policies with joint ownership and supplemental documents so you retain cash-value control while the cryonics org is co-owner.
  • Hoffman describes joint ownership where the member remains first owner and a document ensures full control of cash value.
ADVICE

Sign Up Early To Lock Insurability

  • Do sign up for cryonics while you are young and healthy to lock in insurability and low premiums.
  • Hoffman recounts clients who called too late after cancer diagnoses and became uninsurable or unaffordable.
