There are a couple of things I'd like to say about this aspect. Science Fiction people are so used to the idea of cryogenic suspension that it doesn't occur to us that people may balk at the thought of this. There will most-likely be people in the future who are just as afraid of this technology as there are people now who are afraid of flying. Also, being awake for the whole trip might be a status symbol thing: "It's poor people who have to get the deep-sleep. I don't have to!"
