What a garbage article. It goes on and on about how weird cryonics is without discussing the science or whether or not it works. Of course cryonics is weird. That's not an argument.
Cryonics works. The connectome of your brain, what makes you, you, is preserved. At −238 degrees almost anything organic can be preserved for a long, long time. And with careful procedures done to prevent the formation of ice crystals, the damage done by the freezing process is minimal. It's by far the best chance you have of surviving.
That was a great albeit CREEPY article, and I say "creepy" for the whole mindset that the cryonics movement is part of. Pieter seemed to be the kind of fellow who would have none of that.
