Eh.  One can undertake actions that both lower the possibility of personal
death (or at least, raise the possibility of post-cryonic resurrection)
and make things better for future generations, at the same time.  (Indeed,
most things that make life better for future generations arguably increase
the chance of P.-C. R.: if you do have to go cryo, which type of world is
more likely to revive you - a crapsack post-apocalypse world, or a utopia
you helped create but did not survive to enjoy?)
