Whether we like it or not we are thoughts occupying spacetime 
{brain/mind} in a four dimentional universe of almost computerized 
simulation. Genes and memes are equivalent to a computer programmer 
that directs how we behave. Religious believers who adhere to 
thoughts/desires of immortality are also slaves to genes and memes.

Cryogenics are driven likewise by genetic force, an aversion to 
suffering. The goal for happiness and avoid suffering is a constant 
struggle for those whose emotional and mental development gets blocked 
by traumatic experiences.

Advancing technology with successful therapeutic methods treat specific 
types of physical/mental states without waiting for the advent of 
cryonics to simulate reality.
