Please clearly point out what is bad about cryonics instead of using scare tactics.

I said nothing about living with pure logic. An argument involves using logic to prove a point. That is why I brought up logic.
The worst thing that could possibly happen with the use of cryonics is the start of an underground market of regeneration. There will inevitably be smart enemies. I don't think people are inline with seeing a person taking granted for being alive after having underwent a life-deceiving trick. I was thinking about a horrible auto-related accident. Cryonics would be more than just a mere "gift of fire." With biotechnology that advanced, do you see the earth over-populating? Grandparents who should have long been deceased and mourned after their loss. What if they become cynical and view people as reproducing rabbits. In generality, it would be foolish to integrate cryonics into our society before a physical catastrophe wipes out mankind. We should be fair to posterity by having reason in seeing their sound development.
