"Yeah, that struck me too. The original purpose of freezing only the head was to save storage costs (!). But if they're freezing the body too, separating head and body actually increases the storage costs, not to mention reducing the likelihood of eventual revivification."
I'm going to guess that by the time you sit down with an Alcor rep to run some numbers over how to freeze your head, the cost/benefit analysis is going to get odd. You have to juice the richer stiffs to cover the costs from the loss leading "head only" jobs. They undoubtedly fed him the line of "Sir, if we for some reason CAN NOT relivify your whole body, your head will have gotten the more delicate preservation needed to graft your bean to a future robotic frame or newly beheaded, black market human donor body from Southeast Chopistan"
(I'm only posting this so that I can use the word "relivify")
