"Effectively we maybe able to put people to sleep, and have them wake up 50 years later."

Or tell them they will wake up 50 years later and then just discard them once they are asleep.

I mean there's lots of things we could do to people and usually we don't. What makes you think we would do it to chrononauts more than, say, people in comas they're expected to wake up from?

If you go to a hotel the people in your life expect you to come back in a reasonable amount of time and start asking questions if you don't.
