What a load of bull.<p>Cryopreservationist walks into a bar. Goes &#x27;Hey, everybody, pay me $50 and I&#x27;ll show you a fantastic trick, I take your watch, put it in a bag, smash it up with a hammer, then open the bag and out comes your watch&#x27;. Fascinated a number of patrons sign up and pay their $50, hand over their watches.<p>Audible gulps as the watches go into a nice silver velvety bag and a very large hammer smashes down on the bag with the bar serving as temporary anvil.<p>The bag with the remains of the watches gets carefully pocketed and some of the money goes towards ordering a round of drinks for everybody.<p>So, how about my watch, asks one of the people that handed over his watch and his money. &quot;Oh, that&#x27;s the hard part, I haven&#x27;t really studied that yet, come back in a few 100 years and I might have your watch again. But I&#x27;m getting better at smashing watches, that&#x27;s for sure.&quot;<p>&gt; The point is that we could be saving lives, and we are not, largely because of irrational objections that are not really based on technological or scientific positions, but grasp at a those positions as a shield for the real nebulous feelings on the matter.<p>What makes you believe that we could be saving lives?
