Is cryonics promoting false hope ?

There is full disclosure that cryonics may or may not succeed. The fact that cryonics is dependent upon unknown future science and that the success of cryonics cannot be guaranteed is not equivalent to the claim that cryonics is guaranteed to fail. The fact that cryonics patients cannot be revived with current technology is not proof that they cannot be revived with future technology. To deny that cryonics patients can ever be revived is to promote false despair.
