Yeah looks like I misremembered, but it’s essentially the same thing for purposes of illustrating to the OP that some people apparently do think that cryonics is the obvious correct choice.
Um, why would anyone vote this down? It’s bad juju to put quote marks around things someone didn’t actually say, especially when you disagree with the person you’re mischaracterizing. Anyway, thanks for the correction, cupholder.
Oops, I knew I should have actually looked that up. The difference between “lousy parent” and “child abuse” is only a matter of degree though—Eliezer is still claiming that cryonics is obviously right, which was the point of contention.
At one point Eliezer was accusing literally people who don’t sign their kids up for Cyronics of “child abuse”.
“If you don’t sign up your kids for cryonics then you are a lousy parent.”—E.Y.

It’s a difference of degree which matters, especially since people are apt to remember insults and extreme statements.
