Wow, the Caplan and Stark arguments against aren't worth adding here, I don't think.

Edited to add: the question I'm most keen to hear arguments on is "does the cryonic freezing process cause information-theoretic death?"

OK, per your suggestion I added the question: "Do the best currently available cryonic techniques cause information-theoretic death?". I can't actually find any expert who answers yes to this question. Any pointers?

P.S. I actually think the Caplan and Stark arguments reasonably reflect the mainstream objections to cryonics. However, if you know of better critics, please suggest some.
