No No No!

This approach is not good for people who may or may not join the cryonic 
movement. If people think they are going to be coerced (however logical your 
arguments may sound to yourself and those of us who have signed up) the new 
person is more likely to back off than join.

It can take people ten years to decide to sign up. Yes, they may die 
beforehand, but if you frighten them off with (however well meaning) 
authoritarian sounding stuff like this then it is a certainty that they will 
rot or burn. 

Bear in mind also, that someone who jumps in quickly with both feet is just 
as likely to climb out and join some rubbishy religion which says all you 
have to do is to have blind unreasoning faith *and do nothing else* to 
survive.
