Maybe it’s the correlation between believing in cryonics and being a smart rationalist, but for my money the most rational arguments against cryonics [Edit: or how cryonics is being practiced] don’t come from people against cryonics. They come from cryonics supporters exploring the other side of the argument, or confronting what’s wrong so they can try to fix it. I take that as strong evidence that those against cryonics are getting something badly wrong.
I nominate the appropriate bits of the above Alcor article as currently the best anti-cryonics article in the world.

Ben Best is also now talking about taking on the challenge to write the best anti-cryonics article.
Did he ever write it? It’s been 2 or 3 months, and I don’t see anything in http://www.benbest.com/cryonics/cryonics.html
Not that I heard about. I don’t think there’s much point to be honest, he wouldn’t have credibility with disbelievers.
The first 4 minutes of this is another good example. The guy on the left is Mike Darwin.
