Yep. As far as I can tell a world where people can be and are being revived is almost certainly one I want to live in.
This is the single consideration in the cryonics debate that I remain unconvinced of.
It seems very easy for me to imagine lots of futures that others might find worthwhile, that I would find very unpleasant. Off the top of my head: what if society is more regimented? What if one is expected to be very patriotic? What if it is a very collectivist culture? What if I still have to submit to hierarchies of one kind or another, for one reason or another? ... ...
Are there good reasons to believe that human life in the future will be enjoyable to me? Can I do better than beginning with a bottom line that says "The future will be pleasant", and inventing justifications for why that's more likely than not?
