I’m not signed up for cryonics because, well, I don’t particularly want the service. On the other hand, for someone who, unlike me, would much rather be alive than be dead, it seems like a pretty good deal.
Still, I can’t help but be reminded of the Egyptian pyramids and mummification procedures when I think about cryonics… they wanted to live forever, too.
Wanting to live is admirable. As it happens, the ancient Egyptians were quite flatly wrong about how one goes about living forever. This is a shame, but has no bearing on cryonics.
