Anyone else sees has a problem with this particular statement taken from Cryonics institute FAQ?
I mean, marketing something as one shot that might hopefully delay (or prevent) death, is hard to swallow, but I can cope with that, but this statement reads like cryonics is the one and only possible way to do that.
Well ... isn't it? What others are you thinking of? None spring to my mind.
Upvoted, but I think you misinterpreted the grandparent slightly.
If you don't sign up for cryonics, you will have no chance at all of coming back if you die- the claim is literally true - but the grandparent seems to be considering the broader class of "might hopefully delay (or prevent) death" - anti-aging techniques, uploading, even time travel.
