People don’t buy cryonics plans for the same reason they don’t buy life insurance in the first place or even write a will
I’m not so sure about that. I mean, a LOT more people have an insurance plan than have a cryonics plan. I would agree that the truth of death is so terrible that people develop a complex set of thoughts and behaviors to insulate themselves from this terror. Naturally, they do not want to re-decision this over and over and suffer that pain, so we may even be resentful of the idea that someone thinks that they are not going to die. I think this is part of whats happening in cryonics. But to a larger extent I think people are skeptical of cryonics working, on a number of different levels.
That’s true, my original statement is too broad. To your point, that people are skeptical of cryonics in general, I am in complete agreement, and that’s what I was trying to get at in my final point.
