Personally, I have a non-confrontational temperament and if someone wants to
disagree with my opinions, I'm delighted to let them. But for me cryonics
comes, basically, down to this:
Cyronics may be a (relatively) expensive and risky long-shot. But death is
a (relatively) cheap sure thing. I don't like the odds, but I'll damn sure
take them.
