There are several different levels to be considered. One is the progress of 
science. That is what the original article was addressing. Another is the 
politico-religious: will the progress arrive in time to provide my salvation. 
That is the argument we see in transhumanism, with concepts like the 
'singularity'. Techno-rapture is almost as great a threat to cryonics as is the 
Christian rapture.
