WHY. WOULD. ANYONE. WANT. TO. WAKE UP. 100 YEARS FROM NOW.AND THEN LIVE FOREVER.
Reasons why not:
1) Do you really think that if someone from 1913 woke up in the year 2013, they'd be excited and happy about it? NO. THEY'D BE SCARED AND HAVE A F***ING BREAKDOWN. It would be THE MOST OVERWHELMING THING IN THE WORLD.
2) Do you really think being immortal would be FUN? It seems like torture. Knowing that you will literally be alive and conscious FOREVER? With NO END? What would be the point of doing anything in a timely manner.
3) Also, the planet would become over-populated if cryonic crazies "cured death" (since it's a "disease").
4) Everyone would be even more sad and have an even greater sense of "loss" when their loved one died, if they couldn't afford to have them preserved cryonic-style.
Time would become obsolete. And the world's resources would run out. Why would you want to "live" to see the destruction of humanity/the world anyways? Why would you want to live to see the sun explode? (even though it sounds cool now).
Immortality is like Communism, it completely strips you of that (usually miniscule) drive you have to create. Nothing would get done. Death is an incentive. It's why we do things while we're alive.
All in all, if cryonics did somehow end up working, which it won't, it would be another stupid addition to the endless drawbacks of being human / the human condition.
