I defend the claim that life-suspending technologies can constitute a catastrophic and existential security factor for risks structurally similar to those related to climate change. The gist of the argument is that, under certain conditions, life-suspending technologies such as cryonics can provide self-interested actors with incentives to efficiently tackle such risks-in particular, they provide reasons to overcome certain manifestations of generational egoism, a risk factor of several catastrophic and existential risks. Provided we have reasons to decrease catastrophic and existential risks such as climate change, we also have a (defeasible) reason for investing in developing and making life-suspending technologies (more) widespread.
我为以下观点辩护
延缓生命的技术可以成为与气候变化相关风险在结构上类似的灾难性和存在性安全因素。该论点的主旨是，在某些条件下，如冷冻技术等延缓生命的技术可以为自利行为者提供激励，以有效地应对此类风险——特别是，它们为克服代际利己主义的某些表现形式提供了理由，而代际利己主义是几种灾难性和存在性风险的一个风险因素。如果我们有理由降低气候变化等灾难性和存在性风险，那么我们也有（可反驳的）理由投资于开发和推广延缓生命的技术（更多）。
