An Exploratory Survey Examining the Familiarity
with and Attitudes Toward Cryonic Preservation
by Scott Badger
A consumer survey designed to measure familiarity with and
attitudes toward the idea of cryonics was conducted over the
internet. A total of 517 responses were examined in an effort
to clarify the relationships between (1) the reported level
of familiarity vs. the accuracy of responses, and (2)
demographic variables vs. attitudes and dispositions toward
cryonics. Results indicate that (1) those claiming superior
familiarity do not have superior knowledge, (2) a number of
those surveyed have significant misconceptions regarding
cryonics, and (3) important attitudinal differences exist
between demographically diverse groups.
