Probably there'll be animal experimentation first. Then when Fido's still able to fetch they'll give humans a bash.

That's assuming humans would be performing the resuscitation, which I doubt. If general intelligence has been solved, it will probably be an AI doing the work.
Well there's a scary thought. Sending your loved ones into the future full of machine whose motives may not exactly be the same as ours.
Not saying machines will be running the show, just that they'd likely be handling the logistics of the resuscitation itself.

If general intelligence goes sideways and takes over, the probability it'd care about resuscitating preserved humans is extremely low.

That said, waking up into some sort of Roko's Basilisk-esque eternal torment would kind of suck.
