It requires a number of extremely optimistic beliefs. Both about technological/medical progress, and about economic arrangements and value of reviving a corpse with outdated skills and offensive historical ideas vs just having a baby the future-wizards can raise with their values.
Worse, as the wager (give up the rest of “natural” life for a chance of future life) gets a bigger payoff (remaining QALY goes down), the probability of revival goes down as well—there are simply more hurdles to overcome, and it seems VERY likely that reversing aging is going to be an order of magnitude harder than preventing or slowing it.
