That's the awesome thing about cryonics. It's like forward time travel, an ambulance ride to the future. We have found organisms almost perfectly preserved for thousands of years in far worse conditions, including seeds that were able to grow and living viruses and bacteria. As long as the synapses that make you you are preserved, then a sufficient level of technology could revive you. Whenever cryonics comes up on HN there is usually a lot of negative comments. It seems "weird" and that really repels people. That was my first reaction to it. As a kid I saw a photo of a cryonics facility in some magazine. A bunch of metal tubes with frozen dead bodies inside. I thought it was really creepy and disturbing. Pictures of thawing rabbit brains aren't exactly enticing.
