Just because you have car insurance doesn't mean that your car has Extra Life.
Now there's a detail worth arguing about. ;)

As it happens, the cost for one present-day cryo group, plus extras like "standby", is on the order of $50k; which, if bought as Signature Gear, would cost around... 5 points. The current writeup already has one piece of Signature Gear; as a GM, would you allow both to be bought as SG? Or do you have a different approach in mind? (And would it be worth getting into the distinction between pre-paying the whole thing as a lump sum, versus paying for fairly inexpensive life insurance which pays the lump sum to the cryo provider?)
