I assume the case is similar to the one we have here in France:
No law forbid expressly cryonics, but the legal situation has been
set in the sixties so that efficient cryonics is very difficult;

To get a better law, there must be a vocal pressure group and a market.
If the market profits only to US based organizations, it will be simple
 to present good economic arguments (the only that count) to get a new
law. So, "sell your soul" to CI and you'll be saved (by a new law :-)
