Since there is such a controversy over using the death penalty, but so many
people feel it is morally acceptable and necessary for prison
population/economic control, why don't we use cryonics as the solution?
Major Advantages:

(1) Cryonic suspension is in the most pessimistic case a death sentence,
but is likely just a long prison term (*haha*)
(2 & 3) It defers moral judgement.  We as a society can forego judgement
until society is in more advanced stage and can better deal with criminals
through therapy.  In essence we are giving these criminals a chance later.
(4) It would likely fuel research into cryonics...

Disads

(1) *EXPENSE* 
(2) Cruel and unusual punishment...


Following this: could someone explain to me theories on the brain while in
cryonic suspension.
