This is fallacious and considering it would be a concession to our ideological

While it is widely acknowledge that human labor is a critical input to wealth 
production, neoliberal economic theory undervalues this input, since it focuses 
upon the capital inputs. There are many negative effects of this form of social 
organization, including the massive expenditures on military production - the 
production of death.

involved makes this more of an exercise in fantasy than anything else. There is 
a risk that restriction on revival would tie the hands of those trying to do the
best for cryonicists in the future.
