I think it could be used in the right circumstances.  The person would have
to be terminal and follow the established protocol.  The cryonics would
still come post-mortem just like any other case.

I have often wondered why the right to die laws in Oregon are not used in
conjunction with Cryonic service providers to allow for pre-mortem (or at
least timely) suspensions. Any comment on the viability of this from the
list?

Hi everyone: I do hope that one day, our suspension might be insured by
health care insurers, (whichever system is the most enlightened public or
private) as it is only a matter of time that suspension will be accepted as
a medical technology, useful in preserving life. Of note here; while
suspension costs vary with in a few tens of thousands of dollars, end of
life care averages 250K. This would be a very big cost savings for the
health care insurance industry. Dr. Robert
