Cryogenically freezing someone who believes in the afterlife might—or so he might think—prevent him from truly dying and therefore from entering the afterlife. We might cryogenically freeze believers in the afterlife specifically to punish them, by keeping them chained to the mortal coil.
You’d think they’d either have their consciousness suddenly jump until they wake up, in which case it doesn’t take any more subjective time to get to the afterlife, or he’d stay in the afterlife in the mean time.
In any case, my point was that, as long as he can be kept from harming others, I’d rather have him not die.
