  No, I don’t think being assessed relative to subpar students is a benefit. You’d get a better letter grade, sure. But likely a worse education due to “lowering the bar”, which is what you paid for. Educators often can’t grade on absolute scales because the pass/fail ratio of the students factors into their own performance assessment.

  Lower class participation, impact on grading curves, and distracting behavior all have an effect on others.

  Because your enrollment in a class is not without consequence. If you are doing poorly due to being distracted by your phone, you are creating harm for other students and the lecturer/professor. Thinking that you are free to behave however you wish just because you are the customer is an extremely consumer-minded Karen-esque mindset.

  Yeah I won’t pretend to know or care about the way it’s done for whole humans. I am dubious of its feasibility, leaning strongly towards thinking it’s just plain old exploitation of grieving people.

  “I paid for it” isn’t an excuse to do whatever you want.

  I mean, if they’re frozen their cells are ruptured. Not strictly true, biologists freeze cells all the time.

  You can ask CharGPT for sources. TBH it’s often a much better search engine than Google, although that’s not hard nowadays.
