Uploading seems the most plausible route with very high probability to me. ‘Reviving’ a frozen body seems impossible: neurons in the brain will be severely damaged, there seems no plausible way to repair them without magic nanotech at which point uploading seems easier.
I think nanotech is “magic” in the same way that uploading is “magic”. Neither exists but there’s no good reason to think that either wouldn’t be possible imo.
It seems that they can use vitrification as opposed to solely freezing the body, and this is more effective at preservation. Here’s a paper about scientists vitrifying a rabbit kidney then rewarming it and successfully putting it back into a rabbit (h/t wait but why). However, it seems that each organ must be studied so that it can be successfully vitrified given its unique complexities, so we can’t just apply that paper’s solution to every organ.

What am I missing about this?
