This post is well written but i feel like the conclusion is a little vague. What I got from it is that as an individual the most rational beliefs or actions won’t necessary just be “follow the science”. Science requires a great deal of time, energy, funding etc. In situations where these limitations strip you of a clear scientific answer to your problem, you aren’t suddenly stripped of the responsibility to make a choice. It is a matter of fact that current cryogenics either will or will not work. Science hasn’t told us, but there still is a right answer. And not choosing in this case is still a choice. So the best practice is to bet on the odds.
