If you have not signed up for cryonics yourself, you could ask this person for advice as to whether you should. If you have signed up, you could work this into a conversation. Or just find some video or article likely to influence the parent and forward it to him, perhaps an article mentioning Kim Suozzi.

The only plausible ways I can think to bring it up are:

1) Directly

2) Talk about it to someone else with him in the room

3) Convince someone else who very close to him but not directly dealing with the loss of their child to consider it, and possibly bring it up for me

I think if I were to bring it up, I would take the third path.
