Subject: "Eleventh Hour" cryonics episode online

You have to look for the link that plays the video in
your browser if you don't want to download the
website's special player:

It's funny how the show's anti-cryonics villain
sounded more focussed and philosophical than the
seemingly normal cryonicists, especially the
terminally ill man with a pregnant wife who signed up
to be frozen because he wanted a chance to get to know
his child some day even if he couldn't be around to
see him grow up. (Hopefully the kid won't have to
visit him as a "dadsicle"!) 

They're almost the exact opposite of the odd,
obsessional, often child-free people I've met or read
about in cryonics, where at least one cryonicist has
described himself as "ruthless monster." You usually
don't hear people in that crowd talking about being
frozen for socially acceptable, altruistic reasons.

Regards, 

Julian
