My wife and I are happy to take a chance with Cryonics. Why not ? We love life and each others ... Have a great evening from Quebec.

What strange questions people ask. The interviewer asks things like:

What would you come back as? Wouldnt you be afraid of what the world might be like?

I mean, its life, its good, you cant figure out reasons why you might want to be alive? ?? ??? Existence is a grand gracious, spacious sea, of incredible mystery. We havent even begun to scratch the surface of what it means to exist yet. We need more life, and people like immortality institute are helping get it.

[KoanPhilosopher]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Too many scifi monster movies and doomsday scenarios of the future have penetrated into the minds of the masses. The result is a sense of pessimism about the future. Only those wise enough to see technological trends and who are not spoiled by our immense good fortune that technology has bestowed upon us have a sense of optimism....The optimist like the billionaire entraprenuer is in the minority. Yet they have vision that the masses cant see.

[KoanPhilosopher]

I hope to help other people by changing their perception on such matters.

The cryonicists have put forth their reasonable, rational arguments once again, but will this seriously boost the interest in, and support for, cryonics? Probably not. Perhaps it's time to borrow a page from the atheist movement and become a bit more militant and outspoken about immortalism? Maybe people need to be shocked into realizing how insane and immoral deathism really is.

I disagree with your first comment. David said that he got straight into once he knew that it was accessible and affordable. I bet there are many latent cryonicists out there needing only that information. We do need to become more aggressive in letting people know cryonics is totally feasible though.
