Then millions who had never heard of cryonics would counter-protest, arguing that being frozen was the religion of these people and should be respected. <br>

Alcor could tell Fox News and Rush Limbaugh that stopping them from performing euthanasia on willing church members would violate the religious freedom of Alcor and of its congregation. And as a bonus there would be sweet tax breaks. Stupid people call Cryonics a religion anyway so they might as well make it official and get some advantage out of it. <br>
