Does that mean you've worked out a sure-fire way to survive beyond your actuarially-predicted lifespan?
What's wrong with dying and staying dead? I'd like to live forever too, but right now it's a fantasy that has a very small chance of becoming a reality. There are too many things to deal with in a 80-100 year life span and it would suck if it kept on repeating within 100 year intervals. Especially if it was nothing but nightmarish things.
Even without cryonics, it's possible my country will turn into an Orwellian Stalinist heck-hole. That doesn't mean I should kill myself because that /might/ happen.

I'm in good health with no pain, I've got a roof and a full pantry, and I can connect to a worldwide network containing more information than I ever hoped to read when I was a kid. How can I /not/ see life as being good?
