Scary thought. At it's best, what place would you have in such a society? I doubt most people could handle it. Imagine someone from 200 years, or 2 thousand years ago, revived today. I doubt their sensibilities could handle it, especially if their families, religions, nations and such are just history and no longer in existence.
And the reason I consider most likely to revive people is for slave labor. And other thoughts to come to mind, such as nonhumans (perhaps evolved long after humanity has gone extinct or beings from another world) for vivisection and other biological studies, essentially studying us with the same cruelty humanity studies what we consider lesser lifeforms.
But given typical corporate depravity, I'd say they'd sell your organs and dispose of your body anyway the moment they thought they could get away with it, especially if they needed more cryotube coffins but didn't want to buy more, or even just cut back on power costs. In many cases it's not like anyone is going to sue. Hell, with inheritance issues and many other reasons, even wealthy families would have a personal interest in making sure the said person never returned to life.
And that aside, there is one thing I fear more than death: not being able to die.
And if there is a life after death then the greatest irony is that this process could make one "truly dead" by confining a spirit to a body in suspended animation, making them more dead than the dead. Though who knows, maybe nothingness is better than the hereafter...
