> Yes it is. Sane people are comfortable with death. It takes a weird sort of narcissism to pursue cryonics. Considering the long history of the motivation of seeking immortality in literature, and that it's not typically presented in a "hey, look at this freak, what sort of nutjob would want to be immortal, am I right?"[0] sort of way, I think your use of the words "sane" and "weird" aren't on the right track. Narcissism... sure. But a normal sort. Also, religions in general seem to spend a lot of time and effort on helping people overcome discomfort with death. Why? Are most people insane, then? [0] Cautionary tales aplenty, yes, but authors don't typically expect the reader to consider this as a strange motivation, I would say. Why caution against pursuing something no sane, merely-ordinarilly-narcisistic person would pursue anyway?
