I must have a good imagination because I can think of lots of reasons for reviving people to a future they would rather not be revived in. If the future is “transhumanist” it could be something reviving us that we wouldn’t even recognize as human. (Isn’t thinking that only minds with values like ours would revive us another version of the error of thinking that alien minds are in any way comprehensible to us?)
If there’s a possibility that a revived future would be unpleasant, how can a parent abandon their child to that future, knowing that they would have no control over whether they are also revived or whether they would even have any protective, useful custody over their child?
