Will cryonics even work?  And even if it does, it depends on everything going right until you get revived.  If, say, the laws are changed to completely confiscated all your funds and wealth after legal death -- so that other, "wiser" people (i.e., those in the political or corporate elites) decide where your wealth goes -- then you might be left to rot.
