I do live in Texas, but I haven't been to the Houston meetup (yet). Like another poster, I don't expect the onset of those diseases anytime soon, and I think it likely that practices will change significantly in that time.
You think medical examiners in Texas will stop performing autopsies of suicides and suspicious deaths in your lifetime? Do you have any evidence for that at all?
Nope. It's unclear to me whether practices will change for the better or for the worse- but I can easily imagine a world where cryonics is widely accepted in ~50 years, or one where there's a jurisdiction you can quietly commit suicide in and then have your corpse flown out of, or that all cryonics organizations would have collapsed, and so the question is moot. Making a plan now is not a good use of my time because so much might change.
