The “average cryonicist is male with an extremely high intelligence level, and is often a mathematician or computer engineer,” Hoffman says. John Dedon, a principal in the trust, estate and tax planning practice of Washington, D.C.-area law firm Odin, Feldman and Pittleman, agrees that his cryogenic clients are smart and accomplished. “There’s a somewhat limited audience, but the ones I’ve worked with are incredibly successful and bright,” he says, adding that he’s designed trusts for six to eight cryonicists. “I wish I had a hundred more of them.”

In addition to sometimes macabre misnomers, “one of the myths about cryonics is that it’s only for wealthy weird dudes,” Hoffman said. “Through the magic of life insurance, it’s also available to non-wealthy weird dudes,” he adds, with a self-deprecating laugh.
