I think that *that* may be putting it a little too strongly.
As John Clark (who is not so forgiving as that other J.C.)
put it, forgiving these sadistic beasts not very high on
the to-do list.

I do favor cryonically suspending people instead of executing
them, and will until it no longer becomes a deterrent. If a
person can be converted into a social creature by just a few
little tweaks later when more is understood, then I agree,
why kill them? Just cut off their heads and freeze 'em.

But I hardly have to forgive them to be in favor of doing that.
