One rational utilitarian argument I haven't seen here but which was brought up in an old thread is that cryonics competes with organ donation.
With organ donation you can save on average more than one life (the thread mentions 3.75, this site says "up to 8") wheras cryonics saves only <0.1 (but your own life).
And you probably can't have both.
