That's exactly why I suggested saving this for when the group gets
itself into a clusterfuck of epic proportions, where if the GM just
let the condition monitors fill up, the whole team would be dead. At
that point the players would have had to make up new characters
anyway.

The nice thing about SR though is, is that there is existing tech
available for this cryosleep scenario to actually be happening, or for
it to all be a simsense dream. If the GM finds that after two sessions
of future gaming, the players are chafing at the thought of their
characters spending the rest of their natural lives in 2170, there is
always the simple way out, back to 2050.
