Ok here’s an important consideration which is difficult to quantify but for me personally it ultimately proved decisive — Alcor is the obvious choice of celebrities and financial elites. In the past Alcor has randomly received large endowments from wealthy individuals. One should expect more of this in the future. If someone of considerable wealth (eg, Peter Thiel) needed to be cryo-preserved they may donated hundred of millions to fortified Alcor in very significant ways. Basically, if you have to choose a life boat to the future, choose the one which includes the rich and the powerful.
