<< Hope Beyond Cryonics 

We base our hopes for immortality on cryonics and nanorepairs, betting 
there's almost nothing technology won't be able to do in fifty or a hundred 
years.  
Which is probably true. But taking this argument one step further, maybe we 
don't need Cryo.   >>

No logic in this hope.  How is the singularity going to put me back together 
when all the molecules in my body and mind are scattered to the four winds?  
It is true that those fortunate enough to be born a thousand years hence will 
have no personal need for cryonics, except perhaps in special emergency 

situations, but for those of us who are alive now and certainly for those who 
would 
normally die through the aging process between now and that unceretain date 

when aging is conquered, i.e. probably for the next 50 to 100 years, there is no
hope outside cryonics or some other method of suspended animation.
