There was a sci-fi story I read where a big generation ship was headed to another star to colonize a planet. On board were two classes of people. The rich people were in cryogenic storage and were going to wake up when the ship got to the planet. The poor people maintained the ship, and also reproduced and died normally, since it would take hundreds of years to reach the planet.

One day the machine that produced food for the ship broke and no one could fix it. So the poor people resorted to eating the cryogenically frozen rich people. The ending scene was the leader of the rich being woken up and saying he was glad they finally arrived at the planet, only to get stabbed to death.
