I think the idea is that you freeze them now, since we don't have nanomachines yet, and later when there are nano-machines you use them to repair all the damage the freezing did.

Where is this money coming from after the people paying for it have died themselves? What happens to the human-pops once the company goes bankrupt because its poorly run?
I'm sure there are plenty of people who will pay for this, but after a few decades I believe most of the income for any paticular frozen individual will dry up.
There was one company that took people money and didn't bother keeping the bodies cold, but in general it really isn't that expensive. Liquid nitrogen is the third cheapest industrial liquid right now after water and something else - and with good insulation they don't need much of it after the initial stock.

They may have claymores and Dragons, but we have Bolos and Ogres.

How the hell do you fix cells that have been torn to pieces as the water in 'em crystalized and expanded? I know you can prevent that from happening, but there's no way to restore that unless you go into the realm of nano-wank.
