Working up on larger and larger animals would probably help. "CAN YOU BRING BACK A HUMAN, HUH?" "No, but we can bring back C.Elegans and we're getting promising results on mice." This is the "bring back the human running on the same body" approach rather than the "bring back the human as an em" one. This might also be an approach that would net actual funding for the science.
Similar things are true of bringing back a C.Elegans as an em.
Various research groups are working on this already, with partial sucess.
Yep. But I suggest this line as frozen C.Elegans have been brought back alive and apparently well, and there's a bit of money in cryobiology for organ preservation. (Modulo possible ongoing conflicts between cryonicists and the Society for Cryobiology. But I suspect a bit of success on something bigger than C.Elegans to wave around would have a salutary effect.)
