Why is Scalia necessarily a hypocrite? Am I, because I am aware of the heuristics and biases inherent in human thought, necessarily more biased? To me it speaks well of him that he is aware that the presentation of an argument can influence a judge.

While death could occur at any moment in today's world, waiting to sign up for cryonics until you've been proven that it will work, is similar to waiting until the Lottery numbers have been drawn and confirmed as winners before buying one's ticket. Oops sorry, those numbers are for the previous game, this ticket now applies to the next game. There is no NEXT GAME in this life period. That is unless you click that signing up now is at the very least better odds for you than all those that died before there was such a chance or than for those which still refuse to click that cryonics IS the only rational choice to date. I clicked that cryonics was for me the very instant the thought met my mind. I've come to the conclusion it's not mass madness it's mass stupidity for why most of the rest of the world that could afford it just don't get it. They likely won't until it's an option at the local hospital when tech is advancing so fast someone literally could be only a week away from a cure known to be iin the pipeline but without suspension for that week they are toast.

Speaking of Nobel prize winners and cryonics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7Lzr3cwaPs A comedy sketch show take on Cryonics, with reanimated people from the 1940s bought up by a TV company when the cryonics company folded, and stuck in a 'Big Brother House'. Just the kind of miserable future that looms disproportionately larger in the mind than it is objectively likely to happen.

By "should", do you mean "will" or maybe "should be expected to be", or do you really mean "should"?
