Wrong about their values, or wrong about the actions they should take to maximize their values? Is it inconceivable that someone with strong preferences for maintaining their social connections, etc., could correctly reject cryonics?
As for a “hell world”, known human history has had very few humans living in “hell” conditions for long.
But you can still have a preference for experiencing zero torture.
Wrong about the actions they should take to maximize their values.
It’s inconceivable because it’s a failure of imagination. Someone who has many social connections now will potentially able to make many new ones then were they to survive cryo. Moreover reflecting on past successes requires one to still exist to remember
Could a human exist that should rationally say no to cryo? In theory yes but probably none have ever existed. As long as someone extracts any positive utility at all from a future day of existing then continuing to exist is better than death. And while yes certain humans live in chronic pain any technology able to rebuild a cryo patient can almost certainly fix the problem causing it.

You need to say our of 100 billion humans someone lived who has a problem that can’t be fixed that suffers more existing than not. This is a paradox and I say none exist as all problems are brain or body faults that can be fixed.

Waking from cryo is equivalent to exile. Exile is a punishment.
Yes. Doesn’t matter though.

You are assuming selfishness. A person has to trade off the cost of cryo against the benefits of leaving money to their family, or charity.
Now assuming benevolent motivations.
