I think you're leaving out the most important reason why people don't sign up for cryo.. and if you talk to people and look at their body language when you introduce the idea of cryo you can see that the topic is something that is somewhat distasteful to most people and in fact it kind of scares many people.. Arlene sheskin wrote of this sort of reaction in her book from 19 79 entitled cryonics, a sociology of death and bereavement.. in that book she talked about strong visceral reactions to cryo among some people.. there is a deep-seated dislike and distaste to cry among most people I believe... There's very little interest in it and it's not like people have thought out the subject ...I've talked to over 50 people in person about cryo and a number of people online and no one seems interested in it ...no one's asking me kind of good questions about it.
What we're dealing with here is a deep-seated and little understood mechanism in the human mind that deals with subjects related to cryo such as death practices and suppressing their fear of death through culture and religion and other social and cultural icons..
Now that we've dealt with that issue there's another issue in your column that I want to address.. you talk about why do we need to grow cryo, and you give some reasons and so forth... here's the biggest reason, and it's the reason that you missed... Unless there is a mass movement of cryo in society we cryos do not get full rights to be Frozen at death.. we have little rights.. and we don't have people looking out for us for the most part.. if we had a mass movement we would have rights to be frozen to death and we would have people looking after us.. doesn't that seem important to you?
