And how many people might by then have irretrievably died when 
preliminary techiques leading to the proof that you are demanding would 
have allowed some of them to be restored to life in the future?

Many of us practice potentially life extending methods which are not 
fully proven to work for humans, so why should we not practice 
cryopreservation when all else has failed to allow meaningful life to 
continue?

Besides, all that Suspended Animation, Inc is asking for is to be 
allowed to do the research to achieve just what you require to be 
demonstrated. If you and others will not even allow that, then you are 
being totally hypocritical in your demand to see fully perfected 
suspended animation of a primate. If you are not being hypocritical then 
you will wish to help them to be so allowed.
