Nice link - I added Alcor's side of the story to the question "Is cryonics worthwhile?":

http://www.takeonit.com/question/318.aspx

Thanks to everyone's suggestions, there's now 5 sub-debates for cryonics:

  • Is information-theoretic death the most real interpretation of death?
  • Is cryonic restoration technically feasible in the future?
  • Is living forever or having a greatly extended lifespan desirable?
  • Is there life after death?
  • Does cryonic preservation with today's best technology cause information-theoretic death?
