This is rubbish. Your contention that cryonics be made mandatory involves coercion of those who do not agree—that’s what “mandatory” means. Violence is at the base of all coercion, all regulation, all mandates. Therefore, everything you piously claim above is a lie.
Eliezer only claimed that he wouldn’t use violence on others for their beliefs. He didn’t say that he would never use violence on them for their actions or their failures to act, such as their failure to sign their children up for cryonics.

My understanding is that his ‘mandatory’ cryonics is an opt-out system.
