I was signed up with Alcor until I was flown out for one of their Teens and Tweens functions and discovered everyone attending was a gold supremacist or conspiracy theorist.

Realizing I wouldn’t want to wake up in a world with the rest of the members and encountering Buddhist philosophy was the push I needed to cancel my life insurance policy, which would have paid for the whole body procedure in the event of my death.
