Surely one in a million is better than zero?

Did you get that figure from the cryonics calculator? 
http://www.cryonicscalculator.com

With regards to benefiting others now, very, very few people take this to 
its logical conclusion. Those are the gurus who wander about helping people 
as best they can and have no posessions and rely totally on others for 
sustenance. It only works because there are so few of them.

Surely how people spend their money is up to them. Would you go on a 
discussion group about organised dancing and say that people shouldn't spend 
their money on that but instead use it to help poor people of their 
neighbourhood? If everyone does that then those organising the dancing are 
out of a job.

Money spent on cryonic support isn't destroyed. It just passes through the 
cryonics organisation and then on somewhere else. Money saved in the patient 
care trust is capital that is used somewhere.

Very few people are capable of doing the scientific research that you 
mention. It is unlike subjects like radio and electronics, which in 
comparison are much simpler, and where hundreds if not thousands of people 
were able to contribute to the present state of knowledge and 
infrastructure.

what you are trying to achieve has at the very best a
one in a million chance of working at this point in time. Again at the very
best!
