I've been reading a lot of classic Poul Anderson lately. Coincidence, or the universe sending a message?

Reminds me of Larry Niven’s “corpsesickles”, people who froze themselves awaiting science to find a cure. Unfortunately for most, they are thawed out only to find they have to stand before a government death panel to justify the cost of keeping them alive. With their investments long gone and their skills obsolete, most are sent to the organ banks to be disassembled and given to transplant patients.
