My father is a science professor who also teaches a class on nanotechnology in literature, so he's read enough sci-fi to have a strong negative first impression of cryonics. He estimates the chance of waking up in a future that one would rather die than exist in to be higher than waking up in a more pleasant future. (I asked him a few weeks ago what he thought of cryonics, w/o mentioning personal opinions.)

I'm bad at modeling humans as compared to the general population, but I think he'd be the greater obstacle.

Also, what sort of disgust reaction to cryonics is more typical of women than of men?

I can get through a discussion while avoiding getting into the medical details, if that's the issue. My mother has been fine with discussing controversial medical issues, was fairly open about human biology from the beginning, approved my participation in multiple non-invasive medical studies, and is a blood donor, so she seems to be able to overcome immediate feelings of disgust if she can see a benefit to doing so.

You have more experience with women's reactions to cryonics than I do. Do you know if these sorts of traits make a strong disgust reaction less likely?
