I'm not familiar with the established protocol in Oregon, but if I was a
resident who was terminal, I would look into premortem cannulation.  Then
consume a healthy diet of vitamins and aspirin, prior to taking a bath
filled with ice and following through with the protocol.  If the rules don't
support such action, then look into amending the rules to help make them
more supportive our needs.
Premortem cooling is being used in medicine today in support of organ
donation, so that would be even better for cryonics patients if
arrangements could be made with the medical establishment.
