This is actually one of the reasons I have to doubt Cryonics. You can talk about nano-tech being able to "reverse" the damage, but it's possible (and I think likely), that it's very hard to go from damaged states to the specific non-damaged state that actually constitutes your consciousness/memory.
Which is why it's better for there to be more people signed up, but not actually being frozen yet. The more money they get while the later you get frozen, the better the odds. If immortality is something you want, this still seems like the best gamble.
