One thing I’m looking forward to is the first lawsuit by a cryonics patient alleging that they no longer have a subjective conscious experience, despite being able to pass a turing test. Sort of in the tradition of recent wrongful birth lawsuits. They could submit evidence that their brain scans correspond to someone who is sleep-talking rather than someone who is conscious-awake or conscious-dreaming-a-dream-that-they’ll-remember, that sort of thing.
My first thought was that it would be pretty hard to sue somebody without giving away that you’re able to pass a Turing test, but then I remembered—oh yeah, lawyers.

Why couldn’t they just fake being unable to pass a Turing test? :-)
