The "best" organ donors are young people who suffered a massive head trauma, typically in a motor vehicle accident... If you die in a situation where cryopreservation can proceed, you will probably be too old or too diseased for your organs to be of use. So perhaps the two options are not exclusive after all.
So as a young person with very little chance of dying from disease and very little money it would be better to stay an organ donor now and sign up for cryonics when I'm older and have more money?
This was the intuitive conclusion I reached but I wasn't aware of the "'best' organ donors' being certain demographics. BTW that intuitively seems right, but I'm curious where you got the information.
