Would you agree to freeze your body if you find out you can live again?

Cryogenics is still in its infancy and phase of experimentation. But let's assume that in the near future it will be proven that it can be utilized effectively, would you agree to freeze your body no matter how old you are when you die, so you could continue with your life at a latter date that you will be selecting? Curious with your answers guys.

No this idea does not appeal to me at all. I may be revived in future, but it would be strange world. Things would have changed and I would be ignorant of what had been happening. I would not know how to use any of the new technology. I would not know anything about the people who ruled over my country, or which nations were at war, and for what reason. The world may not be a better place. The changes in climate could have devastated some areas. The ice caps could have melted, sea levels would have risen, land would have disappeared. Forests could have become deserts. There may not be enough food for everyone. Why would I want to be reborn into such a world?

I will at the age of now. But as I become older and older, I don't know if my opinion will change. Usually I am afraid that situation that all the people that I know pass away and only I am left in the world. And at that time, I will be alone. The same situation also fit, when I am awake some day from frozen. Seeing your question again, I notice you said "when you die". If I am going to die, I will agree to froze my body, so that I will have a change to experience another kind of life when I am awake, and at that time, I can also choose still be alive or just die once more.
