Why don't the wives want cryonics for themselves? Why is it always the husband?

Anyway, that aside, the reason the wives are angry about it isn't just the financial selfishness that might be involved or moralistic issues but that if the husband believes in cryonics and loves his wife, he would prevail on her to get with the program. At more than a single level, the wife resents his indifference to her welfare.

I'm a woman. I think cryonics is a reasonable choice. I don't understand the people who feel a deep, reflexive repugnance to it, and I join the chorus who hopes that those who do can find a way to explain what's driving their feelings on the subject.

I think there's enough overlap between men's and women's mentalities that evo psych explanations don't buy much of anything.
