Is your position a kind of unfunny joke, like you were put up to say this? It is unreasonable in the extreme, given current knowledge about cryonics, to force your own beliefs of what every child that is born in the world should have, almost as unreasonable as your comparisons above: “Is it acceptable for the father in the ghetto to beat his child to death, because he’s too poor to afford a psychologist?” Why? Because it is not even remotely a proven technique yet, you are not to go about slinging moral outrage based on the presumption that it is. For the average person, there are a million things they could spend the money on for a kid, and you bet that the certainty of them seeing a return on 99% of them are better.
I am not discounting cryonics being theoretically possible. I am saying that it remains exactly that, unproven, and until it is you can implore people to try it, but you are ridiculous to demand that they do!
