Coming from a depressed person and (anecdotally) a competent liar when it comes to all mental health professionals I've met so far, I am not intent on killing myself presently, and would do anything I could to take this opportunity if it arose. I expect it would be exceedingly difficult to find mentally healthy (or untreatably depressed) people for such purposes, or to have effective tests to differentiate them from treatably depressed people.
Somewhat counterbalancing the disutility from the likelihood that more people would (almost certainly, in my opinion) opt for this, is the fact that if it works, it would actually save them from death from committing suicide. So your assessment of cryonics chances of working (under ideal conditions) definitely matters here.
