Hi Aaron,

I'm surprised to read that you spent some time in a Buddhist monastery, and yet you're still looking at cryonics as a solution? I don't pretend to know how it must feel to have your life taken away from you in this way, it must be awful in many ways, still, I have spent time in a Buddhist monastery myself, and am now a practicing Buddhist, and as such I've spent much time meditating on a gentle and smooth transition into death, the nature of consciousness and the spontaneous arising of being...

My general feeling is that cryonics is a little spooky, in some ways it brings to mind Jeremy Bentham's example, and I know, this might seem trite, but is the thought of letting go really so awful? Wouldn't it in some ways be a blessed relief? I know that there is always an argument in favour of each side, but hasn't your experience with Buddhism given you any insight into how to carry on the legacy of this life into the next one?
