After very little thought I have gone for Whole Life. The reaspn is not the cost or the cash value. The reason is that in 7 years the policy will be paid up and I won't have to pay anymore. From then on in I will be insured. In fact I (depending on my health) can take out additional insurance using the money I no longer have to pay into the first policy. The whole idea of insurance is to provied for your loved ones, or at least to pay for your funeral. It is not an investment. I am very eager to here any comments on this.
