Second, your utility in hookers is sublinear. If you have 50,000, spend 20k on hookers and then 30k on neuro. It seems inconcievable that there are many people who have exactly 30,000 free.
I am also disappointed in Penn and teller. But the bar for discriminating truth against much social pressure is very high.
$80K USD for Alcor neuro, $9K for some Russian organization, and $50K for Trans Time, which has a rather shoddy website. Other organizations only seem to offer full-body cryopreservation. What institution charges 30,000?

Cryonics Institute. (Edit: they don’t offer neuro, but I’m guessing they’re the source of the $30K figure.)
I was just quoting P&T’s number. That show aired in 2004 so I assumed the price would be lower today (not to mention the neuro discount).
Of course, that’s why it’s a lower bound :)
Why would you think that?
