Question 25: I'm surprised that Orthodox Judaism would disincline people to choose cryonics-- I thought it's a religion which is strongly oriented towards living this life well rather than towards an afterlife.
I read about an ethics of life extension conference where the only people who were unambiguously in favor of life extention were the Orthodox Jews.
What am I missing?
What you're missing is "...blah blah blah, proper Jewish burial, in accordance with the will of god... blah blah blah... no 'disrespecting' dead bodies ... blah blah blah... moshiach ("the messiah") will come 'real soon now', and bring back the dead, their bodies being regrown from a tiny indestructible bone that exists at the base of the spine..."
That should give you a small sample. :P
