I don't think that future generations will think of us or whoever chose not
go use cryonics as "silly." They'll just disagree with it and move on. You
cannot change the past unless there is a time machine :o) - even then, I am
sure, they will be smart enough to recognize that progress has its own pace
and it's not what needs to be changed.
