My main hesitation with cryonics technology is that I expect the marginal cost of providing an extra year of life is increasing as the age goes higher. So I expect making a person live 1000 years would be much more expensive than making 10 people live 100 years each. So I would be interested in arguments on how could marginal costs of increasing lifespan stay constant over age.
My expectation is that in the future, with anti-aging technology or whole brain emulation, aging will not significantly add to the marginal cost of providing another year of life.
Does this address your hesitation? I’m not sure if you’re referring to something else.

This was what I was referring to. Thank you!
