	Selling cryonics by invoking gut-level visceral reactions to other
post-mortem procedures like autopsy is not a good idea.  I'm afraid it's 
too much a case of the pot calling the kettle black.  Cryonics (like
any major medical procedure) is not exactly a pretty sight either.
In fact it is very ironic that you mention chiseling away at
someone's skull to remove a brain during autopsy.  This exact same
procedure is sometimes used to recover brains for *cryonic preservation*.

	Cryonics should be compared to other procedures on the basis of
potential outcome, not esthetic appearance.
