Dont understand the "activity" part, the post implied sleeping was fine, so does breathing count?

Re: Probability of an average person cryonically frozen today being successfully revived: 22.3, 10, 26.2.
An enormous estimate, IMO - close to that given by the salesmen(!):
It's probably not mentioned enough that cryonics can be justified even if it looks like it probably wont work, as long as it's past some threshold.

One of my favorite books, but do you think it's appropriate for this list?
Not sure what exactly should count as appropriate, I had assumed that the votes would sort the good from the bad, but maybe people would be less inclined to downvote a book they liked, which could be a problem with a well-liked book.
Is it enough that these comments could serve as a warning, or do you suggest I delete/edit the post?
