The hope is that nanothecnology or something similar can make the
repairs in the future, but one would prefer to minimize them to
begin with. Why also subject the body to accelerations that would
encourage this?
Right. People can't take high accelerations because different parts
of one's body are of different density, and because some of the parts
aren't particularly strong (i.e. crush resistant). Freezing doesn't
change that.
