This is the reason I don't consider quantum suicide (via cryonics) a reasonable position until a normal end of life situation.

I'm not sure where the cryonics/quantum suicide link is coming from. Do you just mean 'cryonics' in the sense "use something to make the patient clearly unconscious and then either wake them up or destroy them"? (As opposed to any long-term-storage connotations.)

(As noted in Valdimir_Nesov's link)

I'm a fan of that link for some reason.

Yes. Cryonics being preferred over other methods because it's a viable method for survival in the linear time case as well.
