Cryonics

[ciphergoth]

I'm considering signing up with the Cryonics Institute. Are you signed up? I'd be interested to hear your reasons why or why not. It does of course sound crazy, but when you press past that initial reaction to find out why it's crazy, I haven't heard a really satisfactory argument yet, and I'm interested to hear what people think. There are many reasons it might not work, but are there reasons to think it's really unlikely to work? How likely does recovery need to be for it to be worth it?

Right now I'm not sure I'll have enough money to live comfortably when I retire, so if I put money aside it will be for that eventuality, which seems far more likely than cryo-resurrection. Then, when I die, I want to leave money to my wife and child,if they survive me.
