That’s the point I’m trying to make. An action that could appear to increase life expectancy drastically could actually have the opposite affect (in the situation I propose by affecting the institutional structure required for cryonics to succeed).
Yes, once cryopreservation is widespread across the globe. But when only some people access and others don’t, and we have a decent shot of actually being revived, the tragedy from a cryonics subscriber losing their life is much greater than when a non-cryonics subscriber loses their life.
It’s not about what’s okay; it’s about what people will actually do when their life expectancy goes up drastically.
