How do you know that something like that won't happen when your >brought back w/cryonics? There is NO guarantee what kind of world you might find yourself in. (BTW: there's NO guarantee that cryonics will even work--don't let anyone snowball you about that..<no pun intended>). I'm sure that there will be some here that will answer this question with a "candy coated" answer of a perfect world with full-blown nanotechnology that will give everyone anything they ever need, and there just won't be a reason for a war, etc. They may even reason that if there was a war (world war?), or big disaster (asteroid impact?, earthquake?, famine?) then resources wouldn't be used for the monumental effort of recovering a person in cryonic suspension. The point is: *You DON'T know what kind of world you will find yourself in.* No one does. You may arrive to find yourself in a living hell. Who knows?? It's just part of the gamble that you take if you choose cryonic suspension.
