Re: "from a utilitarian point of view the money spent on cryonics would be much better spent by donating to a cost-effective charity".
Sure - but utilitarianism just seems to be a totally bonkers humans moral system to folk like me. Utilitarianism doesn't even seem to be a very good way of signalling unselfishness - because the signal is so unbelievable. Anyway, if you are assuming a utilitarianism framework, maybe consider linking to some utilitarianism advocacy.
What I mean by "from a utilitarian point of view" is "from the point of view of granting equal ethical consideration to qualitatively similar beings" or something like that. I'm open to suggestions for how I might rephrase more satisfactorily
