Does cryonics work?

When one with a cryonics membership dies, is his life insurance benefit still paid out? Assuming he can be revived via the cryonics process. Cryonics and life insurance seem incompatible.

Yes, as many people pay for their suspension by taking out a life insurance policy that names the cryonics organization as a beneficiary.


Great question, I'd hate to be revived and then stuck with a 2 million dollar bill for previously paid out life insurance.

My guess is that insurance companies haven't bothered to write that fine print yet, but who knows.
