I agree, except that I'll mention that suicide with cryonics is the answer to systematic suffering, not suicide without cryonics.

I agree, at least in principle, but on the face of it, the logistics of killing oneself in such a way that one will likely be found and preserved within the time limit, without inflicting information death on oneself or alerting others who may stop you that you are preparing to commit suicide, seem rather difficult.

Difficult, sure, but usually necessary for the suicide to be rational.
