I'm surprised that you didn't take offense at the
implied status of women in that society. Did the
cryonics facility also have a room full of
"groomsicles" for women to choose from?

And why would women sign up for cryonics if they could
only be fully resuscitated by agreeing to become some
rich creepy guy's concubine?

Besides, that society clearly lacked the means to stop
the aging process, which from cryonicists' perspective
makes the whole exercise a bit pointless.
