I don’t think this theory holds water. The main problem with cryonics from the mainstream point of view is the fundamental issue of the respect for the dead and the proper acceptance of death. From the point of view of an average person, holding corpses submerged in a liquid with the hope of future revival is equally perverse regardless of whether this liquid has to be held at very low temperatures.
(That alternet.org article you linked to is an amusing example of lefties trying to come to terms with something that’s altogether outside of their purview. It’s not something they can dismiss as traditional religious superstition, and their incapacity to understand it is an indication of their own falling behind the times, so they’re forced to dig for ways to throw cheap and irrelevant shots. What an amusing display of human folly.)
