I would say to the anti-cryonics crowd:
In case 1: It's not fraud if the cryo-patient (while alive) voluntarily
agreed to let the cryo-technicians perform the procedure. And the
uncertainties were throughly explained to the cryo-patient. The whole point
is that in the future it might not be physically impossible to return the
dead back to life.
In case 2: It's not premeditated murder if the living human voluntarily
agreed to let the cryo-technicians perform the procedure. Legally this is a
tough one, e.g, Kervorkian keeps going to court.
It's not fraud:
>>since even the cryonics technicians themselves admit
to the potential patient
>>that the future thawing process is unlikely to have 100 percent survivial
rate . . .
And the patient understands this and agrees to participate.
Sounds like this anti-cryonics person has a problem with voluntary human
agreements and a predilection for JAIL(!) Book 'em, Danno!
