I’m surprised that Orthodox Judaism would disincline people to choose cryonics—I thought it’s a religion which is strongly oriented towards living this life well rather than towards an afterlife.
Well, yes, exactly. Cryonics is about living this life well, not about an afterlife. An afterlife is what happens after you’re gone. The more you cared about an afterlife, the less you’d be inclined to extend your life or be immortal.

This might be confusing because it looks like you’re cryonically preserved after you “die”, but really, you haven’t actually died yet. Death means you can no longer be resuscitated.
