I'm very sceptical of the science behind it but that's not what bothers me.
I find the idea of spending tens of thousands of pounds at a shot at preserving my life after death to just be very hard to justify. That's hardly pocket change.
Skipping right past the issue of whether it's better to spend money on enjoying myself now rather than a gamble on extending my life, I wonder how many people's lives could be extended/saved using that money in more conventional means.
I'd rather the world's resources went to helping people who need that money right now rather than to give privileged people hope for life after death.
