I’m surprised. I’d have though the biggest barrier to it being taken seriously is the comfort of normality barrier. That is most people are comfortable with the narrative of birth-life-death and anything that takes them outside that makes them uncomfortable and is ignored.
Yes, that’s what motivates people to come to a negative conclusion, but I think it’s the plausibility issue that allows them not to worry about the conclusions. Not many people say “if my heart stops, don’t resuscitate me”.
I don’t think it is the coming back from the dead that makes people uncomfortable so much the world and technology that is supposed in the future to enable it. The eternal life from that point on also drastically changes the narrative.
