I would certainly hope that nobody combines cryonics and euthanasia.

This is *exactly* the sort of thing that euthanasia opponents (and even
some advocates) fear the most.   Remember, most think that cryonics is
a false hope, many think it is even possibly a scam.

People are willing to tolerate people ending their lives early when they
have no hope for anything but a slow death of misery and pain.

And if they thought cryonics were a real hope, they might approve it also
as an alternative to that slow death of misery and pain.

But if they think it's a false hope -- and they do think that -- they will
never tolerate somebody trading life for what they are sure is quackery.

It sounds like the surest way to get the selling of cryonic procedures banned.
