- I tend to see cryonics as what-have-we-got-to-lose CPR, to be used
- only when all else fails. It may not work, or it may work only
- partially (i.e. they revive SOMETHING, and it walks around and
- thinks, but there was enough brain damage that it isn't really
- YOU anymore), but what have you got to lose?
-
- Actually, you DO lose some money; and there's potential grief for
- you relatives that don't know if you're "dead" or not, and there's
- an investment of time and effort to get it set up. For those with
- the cash, however, it's worth a shot if all else fails.
