Ed T (25 Nov 10 - 10:31 PM), I understand you consider your previous questions answered. (In a thread like this it would have been quite ok if you had criticized my statements.)

Physics and technology are quite a different subject from religion, but they give rise to delusive hopes as well. Many things ("in Heaven and Earth") are possible, some are worth researching. However, if you asked me about our most reasonable hopes, I would recommend living the rest of ones present life with the best possible countenance. If after our deaths we find out that our gods don't exist at all, they will forgive us.

The rich whiners who publicly advocate cryonics seem to fall short of that.
