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.)
