Are there any sort of in-depth analysis of the cost/benefit of cryonics? I’m not convinced its the best use of ones money, considering that the money spent could be given to charities to improve the world now, versus the very tiny chance you are preserving your life. The immediate benefit of helping others now seems to considerably outweigh the selfish act of self-preservation, considering that if you can afford cryonics currently, you already have excess money that could be used now for charity.
However, I am relatively new to the topic, so I am certain there are a whole host of issues I am ignorant of and I don’t mean to set up a false dichotomy, which is why I ask my original question.
Will the existence of supertasters skew the results? I’ve ordered a supertaster test chemical strip before, and found I was a supertaster, but my brother was not.

I find I am not tolerant of extreme flavours in either direction. Super-sweet, or super sour, bitter flavors can make me gag. I can’t drink coffee or most teas. I also don’t enjoy chocolate. I eat mostly ‘vanilla’ or bland foods, but find they taste quite good.
