Fascinating as a one-way trip into the future might be... no. Warren Ellis took all the shine off whatever appeal this idea might once have had. The people of the future are not likely to have much use for a bunch of weirdoes from the past who decided to just up and skip the development of history, culture, science, etc. in favor of 'I have money, now fix me'. And that's assuming the thawed-out folks are even able to pay for whatever the future has to offer.

So, no.

Oh dear God, yes. Transmetropolitan made the prospect of cryogenics and the fate of "Revivals" terrifying.

Ever read Larry Niven's "Rammer"? Yet another cautionary tale about cryogenics, in part.
