That’s actually not what I am saying; rather, I am questioning your claim that human life is exchangeable. Because most people intensely dislike the prospect of death and it makes life a lot more difficult in many ways, it seems much better (to me) to have one person live for 100 years than to have two people live for 50, given the same healthspan.
Separately, I expect that any increased expected chance of an increased lifespan, including cryonics, would increase the average person’s propensity to make long-term investments in themselves and in their communities.
Are you saying that cryonics could improve current people’s ability to make long-term investments in the world? I don’t see that that’s true.
