They did some research on non-human animals in the past, but AFAIK, they didn't publish much.

You seem to concede that you were wrong and they have done some research, even if most of what they do isn't. That was my sole objection, so I think we're on the same page now >.>

This claim is factually false. Cyronics organizations don't use their customers' bodies for research, and in general they don't do much research of any kind.

Note the present tense and the use of the adjective 'much' rather than 'any'.

shrugs We don't disagree on any facet of reality, just the semantics of how to label it.
