I also don't think I'd want to wake up in a world which was run by people who had actually made this work. I suspect they'd be the worst sort of leeches; people who would think 'it's better to spend resources unfreezing this one dead rich person than to feed these twenty living children.'
Of course, it's possible that in the future we'd have enough resources that that choice wouldn't need making (it would need to be a lot of resources, given how we apportion out the ones we have today). But I very strongly doubt it, and I can certainly live with the possibility of being wrong. The idea of being dead doesn't bother me much, although I admit that some of the ways I might transition to that state are deeply unpleasant.
