Cryonics tries to deliver the most desired product that mankind has every wanted, an end to death. Religions try to deliver the same product. At present customers choose religions over cryonics because those customers believe they have a better chance of surviving death through religions then cryonics. When they are convinced they will have a better chance of surviving death through cryonics then religions they will switch. Religions guarantee they will provide survival from death. Cryonics guarantees nothing. The guarantee of a product has a lot to do with which one the customer will buy. Cryonics will advance through two actions: As confidence in science and the technology of cryonics advances and as confidence in the validity of religion declines. Proper marketing can make these two actions happen faster. Just because we have not stumbled upon proper marketing yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. All we are entitled to conclude in this field is that we haven't stumbled upon it yet. A lot of the present leaders in cryonics are burned out towards trying new things, we need some new young enthusiastic people to take leadership positions. We need new ideas and energy in the area of marketing cryonics, and other areas. Every day we sit around with the status quo sitting around the leaders table saying things like: "no, no, been there - done that, doesn't work, I'm an expert and I know it won't work," thousands of people die who might have been frozen, and therefore might have had a chance to survive death, if we had made some changes. Nobody said trying to live forever was going to be easy.
