It is easy for me to imagine that cryonauts will be treated in the future as
we treat illegal immigrants in the US today. People will want to exclude us
from services or jobs, claiming that we do not have any natural right to be
in a particular location at a particular time. It would not surprise me at
all if cryonauts were treated as second class citizens, if they were allowed
to be citizens at all.
