This is rather odd as my own experiences and the responses I have seen to 
media stories revolve around technical problems or misguided criticisms such 
as "but how can you bring back the dead?" more than the nature of the people 
providing the service. Basically, most people just think cryonics is a 
pointless rip-off in my experience.
