You are not doing yourself, or anyone else, any harm, so I see no reason to object. Now, are there better methods for immortality, survival-wise, but its all a matter of opinion. There's a new attempt by a group of neuroscientists, that came on today, in Discovery magazine, that deals with non-cryogenic brain preservation. I glanced through the article, but, have no details on the method. We should both look this up. I will link the article, when I locate the url, in another post, if you are interested.
