Implicit in your assumption is that nobody in the future will ever have the means and eccentric interest to want to revive these people.

If we could revive an iceman today, we absolutely would have, if not for science than for profit.

On that note, I'm disappointed by how often the future is assumed to have progressed no farther than today's form of capitalism.

That and TFA both speak to the same problem: the unimaginative belief that now is what was, is, and ever shall be.
