There are not a lot of choices, but here is a 
reference:  http://www.cryonet.org/orgs.html

Some have chosen Alcor Foundation.  I am an Advisor to the Board for Alcor, 
so I can attest to Alcor's continue to move forward.  Hopefully someone can 
tell you about the other cryonics organizations so you can have a balanced 
view.

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the circle, 
then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what is inside the 
circle and everything outside the circle, then that is an open system 
perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
