Who regards cryonics as evil like child molestation? General public sees cryonics as fraud - somethink like buying real estate on the moon or waiting for mothership, and someone paying for it as gullible fool.
For example, look at discussions when Britney Spears http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2520762/posts
wanted to be frozen. Lots of derision, no hatred.
Does the fact that my specific example may not be perfect refute my point that mere indirection & chance does not eliminate all criticism and this can be understood by merely introspecting one's intuitions?
