Should criminals be denied cryonics?
If someone is sentenced to life in prison or the death penalty, should they also be prohibited from signing up for cryonics? Specifically, I'm referring to people like these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_death_row_inmates I am not talking about providing it for them, just allowing them to sign up for it provided they can...
I don't disagree with you (except the part about Chimpanzees), but I can see this becoming a big issue eventually, like when some prisoner demanded a sex-change operation and the media freaked out, I can see them freaking out the same way when a major serial killer tries to sign up for cryonics: "Killer wants to be frozen to kill again in the fututre!"
