I know some of the people involved. I expect that they are honest in saying that this never happened and that Johnson lied. Johnson himself later retracted the statements and his retraction said that he had no direct observation or evidence about the Ted Williams allegation; but this should probably not be regarded as significant evidence apart from my own claims about Alcor's probable honesty, since Alcor did in fact sue him and the book's author for libel.
The moment I realized cryonics made sense was when I was close to the moment of death. I am in my early 20s (followed for over10 years) and have been involved with cryonics for over 12 month now. I can recommend anyone to signup. It is very likely that AGI takes over from here but cryonics tries to preserve as much information as possible in this universe. I can only recommend watching Dr. Kendizorra from TomorrowBiostasis who is a real medical Doctor and opened just now in June their newly built Biostasis Facility near Zurich.
I'm more inclined to believe that boredom in a cryogenics facility would lead to a meeting of a head of Alcor Life Extension Foundation executive and a monkey wrench discussing the difference between expected and actual trajectory after application of force by one of the facility engineers than claims that such events never happened.
