But all other human organs are not unique. Once you can successfully revive other animals that are like humans except for their brains, you can move on to humans for the missing parts. It makes sense to minimize the amount of dangerous testing on actual humans.
On the other hand, if the idea is to focus preservation on the brain only, then revival would be very far beyond our present abilities and we can't do meaningful tests even on humans today.
Surely the PR from failed tests on actual humans would be even worse.
