Would paying for life Insurance be an example of wrong livelihood?

In the Anguttara Nikaya wrong livelihood is defined as such:

"Monks, a lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison.

"These are the five types of business that a lay follower should not engage in."

So, I am curious. Is paying for life insurance an example of "business in human beings?" I mean, I am paying someone to insure my life, making my death worth something. It doesn't seem right to me.
