Yeah, that was my first thought too. If I am character in a sci-fi book (and he is old enough to read those), I totally jump on it.

But here, back in the real world, with one life to live, majority of people will simply refuse because they have lives and sane interested person asks a lot of questions. I mean, was he one of early Titan submersible passengers? And that one guaranteed quick death rather then prolonged one or slavery or what have you.
