I'm not talking about technical details of cryonics, that's whatever it is, and that's great.

Waking up is the problem. Under what circumstance would you be woken? What motivations would lead a society to bring you back? What will governments do with your corpsicle in the meantime?

I would really recommend reading "A world out of time" as a start (by LN), if you are considering cryonics. Just as a scary bedtime story, or because you like good SF, if nothing else.

But if you want to know the technical details of implementing cryonics, then try somebody else.
