The purpose and importance of such a precaution is extremely obvious. It is for our very survival. The fruits of transcendent technology may not be seen in our lifetime, however the work done today is the reason for the emergence of a glorious future. In the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred holy book for Hinduism, one of the most famous lines from the second chapter is: "Karmanye Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani" which basically means "You have a right to perform your prescribed action, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be associated with not doing your duty."
This is a good and rather useful saying for the aspiring futurists and visionaries. One can not predict whether the current efforts at cryonics would successfully enable people to wake up in a distant future. However, such obstacles should not stop us from working towards viable suspended animation of a live human being for extended space travel, medical resuscitation and for other reasons. We have come a long way from the humble ice box to virtrification. Likewise for our visions of the cryogenic suspension and space elevators. Therefore, much like an adult worker ant works tirelessly to feed its colony, so too must we continuously develop technologies for the continued survival of our species.

This is really a mess V.R. Sorry, but you're trying to cover too much. It's not coherent.

It sounds like you are searching for answers to questions raised by modern science and philosophy. Might I suggest that you look into Matrixism. Matrixism is a religion/philosophy based on modern science. It draws from the movie The Matrix as well Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception and Island.
