Is there a hedonistic utilitarian case for cryonics? (Discuss)

Abstract

Cryonics is a popular topic among the rationalist community but not the utilitarian community. My impression is that most people who promote Cryonics are generally not utilitarians and most utilitarians do not promote Cryonics. This seems to be one area where the rationalist and EA communities diverge significantly. My take is that typically those excited in Cryonics are typically in it for somewhat selfish (not in a bad way, just different from utilitarian) reasons, and that there haven’t been many attempts to justify it as utilitarian because that wasn’t the original intention.
