They're cheaper. If cryonics has a <1% chance of working and you're not rich they likely yield more QALYs.

If I take "not rich" to mean unable to afford cryonic suspension without giving up other things that contribute significantly to my QALY-count, agreed. That said, that seems like a pretty low threshold for "rich."
