I am not signed up for cryonics.
1) I think I can save more lives by being an organ donor. 2) I can't afford it, even with life insurance. 3) If there is a Singularity, I expect it will happen before I die anyway.
I can't actually sign up until I'm 18 even if all these are refuted, but I will precommit to signing up when I'm old enough.
If number one is part of your true rejection, look to see if there are head-only cryonics available in your area.
I'd thought that signing up for both organ donation and even head-only cryonics leads to battles over one's body- the necessary preparations are quite different. I'd be happy to find I'm mistaken, though.
My research via CI and Alcor suggests you are correct. I don't have sources offhand, but should be easy to find on their websites.
What orthonormal said -- I was told that the circulatory system was used to get the crypopreservant into the brain and this rendered the other organs unusable.
