 This is not the case for the younger people that I have talked to. In any
case getting your corpse frozen when you croak is not a high priority with
them. The cost of cryonics would have to be zero or close to it to
generate much interest.
 However young unmarried people often have up to about $15,000 in "free"
company sponsored life insurance that is doing nothing for them. If a
credible cryonics option was available for this price I don't think I'd
have much trouble convincing people to sign up, for the social value if
nothing else.
 [signing up for cryonics could make you a babe magnet?...] :)
