Proponents of cryonics completely misunderstand natural selection, and frankly suffer from narcissism. If it were advantageous for organisms to live forever, they would. Without any type of genetic recombination, undying things will not outcompete dying things, period. I hate to break it to anyone, but you're not the perfect human and we do not live in a world of unlimited free energy. The only world in which "you" could live forever is a world where identity itself doesn't exist. This basic misconception is just the tip of an iceberg of delusional thinking. Disease would have to already be conquered. There would be no economic incentive for reanimation, etc. etc. History's greatest cultures focused on what they could achieve, not longevity. Remarkable people often die young, and there's more to that than coincidence. This vapid quest to live forever is part of the banality of our time.
