He can be highly skeptical, that's fine. Cryonics doesn't require faith for it to work.
He's probably already undergoing expensive and unpleasant treatments that he considers to have low probability of success.
Cryonics is expensive but painless. And if it works, we can be pretty certain it had nothing to do with the placebo effect.
How could he turn down a chance, however slight, to debate Christian theology after returning from the dead?
You don't have to convince me - I'm signed up with CI. But the point is that cryonics has a better chance of working than, say, placing a fried egg over your grave, and that's something people find very hard to grasp or work with.
