Damn it's hard to come up with an original idea.

You know it is only a matter of time before some new super charismatic
religious leader comes forth teaching that the only way to have a future
life is to get oneself frozen.  By this I mean not a scientist, but
specifically a religious leader, who will actually propose a god who is
really advanced (like Star Trek's Q) but not magic.  I actually think it
will only be at that time that cryonics will really take off.  It will have
it's scattering of offbeat adherents (like us) but until an actual
*religion* takes up cryonics, Alcor will be about the size it is now.
