Oh they rationalized it alright. Also cost benefit can't be the excuse of people with more than, say, 10 million dollars and whose main goal is living long.

As the person who first emailed Rudi back in 2009 so you could finally stop cryocrastinating, I'm willing to seriously dig up whether/how this is feasible and how much it would cost iff:

(1) You disclose to me what all the responses you got (which are available to you); (2) I get more than five of those responses which aren't variants of "No, I didn't do that."; and (2) Overall, there is no clear evidence, among the responses or elsewhere, that this wouldn't be cost-effective.

The minimal admissible evidence is things like a scientific paper, a specialist in the relevant area saying it's not cost-effective, or a established fact in the relevant area which has as a clear conclusion this is not cost-effective.

Thank me later.

Thanks for that amazing service back in 2009. May the end of my cryocrastination always be with you.

God, I need an anti cryocrastination angel too!

You seem to be missing the point of CAE_Jones' comment there. The people you ask about your unconventional idea "rationalizing" why they're not doing something that seems obvious to you is what it feels like on the inside when your "obvious" idea is actually dumb and the people you're asking have good reasons not to be doing it, what makes you so confident that that's not what's going on?
