Very good questions that every cryonaut needs to answer for themselves.
I personally believe that I can commit suicide later if I wish I weren't
brought back. I also don't think that a no-win scenario is very
likely. If I come back to a bad situation, I will eventually be able to
escape it or change it. Going through a bad period would still be
better than giving up and dying now.
