Thanks for pointing the linked post out, I had not seen it before.

I'm aware of the points raised therein - I don't hold actually hold rigidly to the Purchase Fuzzies and Utilons policy. In my top level post I was making a subjective judgment call that cryonics advocacy is so far from being cost-effective that it shouldn't be on the table as a utilon-producing activity. But I may be wrong about this.

In particular, I think that a recent comment by lsparrish explaining his position is well considered. I look forward to talking more about this matter more with him sometime.
