By signing up for cryonics you help make cryonics more normal and less expensive, encouraging others to save their own lives. I believe there was a post where someone said they signed up for cryonics so that they wouldn’t have to answer the “why aren’t you signed up then?” crowd when trying to convince other people to do so.
I’m sure that many folks who have signed up for cryonics are happy that their behavior normalizes it for others. But I’m doubtful that any significant number would have made a different decision if normalizing cryonics was not an effect of their actions.
