Assume that one of the following is true:

1) Cryonics will help you.

2) Cryonics will not help you. Money you save today will not make you happier in the future.

3) Cryonics will not help you. Money you save today will make you happier in the future.

Keeping the likelihood of (1) constant while raising the likelihood of (2) makes cryonics a better bet.
