This post points out that brain preservation (cryonics) is potentially quite cheap on a $/QALY basis because people who are reanimated will potentially live for a very long time with very high quality of life.
It seems reasonable to assume that reanimated people would funge against future persons, so I’m not sure if this is persuasive for those who don’t adopt person affecting views, but for those who do, it’s plausibly very cost-effective.
This is interesting because I don’t hear much about person affecting longtermist causes.
