There's two things you could potentially approve of. The rabbis have a set of beliefs, and an algorithm they use to decide how to act on these beliefs.
I am pretty sure you disapprove of the beliefs. But what about the rabbi algorithm is different from the cryonics advocate algorithm? As far as I can tell, they are identical, and I'm sure you're not suggesting they switch to the "Do what Luke_A_Somers approves of, rather than what I think is right" algorithm.
Furthermore, I think the objection that the cryonics advocate is being distasteful is an objection to the algorithm, not to the beliefs.
I can approve of actions without getting into questions about motivations. Especially in murky waters like religion.
