I was pretty disappointed in the segment on cryonics.
It was particularly offensive that the *one* individual they
interviewed who pooh-poohed cryonics was the *one*
whose credentials they emphasized (professor as U of C),
implying that "professionals" or "experts" in the field
consider it nonsense. I tried to imagine myself as a viewer
hearing about cryonics for the first time, and I think I would
have concluded that these cryonicists seem like nice enough
people and they don't seem to be harming anyone, but they're
dreaming! And I couldn't believe I heard the infamous
hamburger quote again!

Oh well. I wasn't expecting much better.
