There is a fairly extensive critique at:

http://www.astro.ucla.edu/~wright/lerner_errors.html

More generally, some recent postings have argued in the direction that maybe
information about past persons will always be recoverable, so that cryonics
patients will be revivable no matter what shape they are in. This idea is
considered at length in my book, *Forever for All*. I take the position that
the hidden past will not be recoverable, but that there are compensations.
It is better, I argue, to be frozen at death than not (a chapter is devoted
to this issue) even when the possibility of a future resurrection by other
means (which I also make a case for) is taken into account.
