while also not doing a serious effort to prolong the healthy lifespan (wallbangerific)
I agree with that! I'm interested in the work by Aubrey de Grey. It's not useful to me now, but I predict that someday it will be.
But what jumped me, was that a long lifespan is fine, while a long lifespan with a coma/pause in the middle is not. I dont get that.
Well, I don't suppose that there are many people who feel that way. If you can get across the idea that cryonics is a way of turning one's death into a very long coma, then that may help make it more attractive.
But I get up in the morning because there are things that I left unfinished the day before. By the time that I am revived from cryonics, they will all be finished.
Of course cryo people would love to take their loved ones with them, and are horrified when they ignore the chance.
If my loved ones signed up for cryonics, that would be reason enough for me.

It is a horrendous case of a sub-optimal equilibrium in a coordination game. You know, one of the examples of game theory that isn't the @#%@ Prisoner's Dilemma.
Yes, I'm wrong about this being prisoner's dilemma. One side defecting (dieing) against other cooperating (cryopreserving) won't make first side better off and second one worse off.
So it's just insufficient communication/coordination.
