> If we manage to build a real friendly AI

An AI would be evolving with such incredible speed that to say "we made it"
would be stretching a point; we may have made version 1.0 but now we're on
version 10^23. And when people use the term "friendly AI" what they usually
mean is a super intelligence that is more concerned with human welfare and
desires than with its own. That will never EVER happen, nor should it.

> I beleive it will have respect for human desires

I find it imposable to believe that a massively intelligent silicon brain
will put much stock in the human superstition that protoplasm is inherently
superior to silicon, especially when it sees a counterexample ever time it
looks at a human and compares it to itself. Do you have respect for the
desires of snails and sea slugs?

I would say the probability that any cryonics client will ever be reanimated
as his old biological form is virtually zero;  but not to worry, it is
possible the uploaded client will think he has his old body back. However
his ignorance of the true state of affairs is unlikely to be permanent.
