I remember reading that neurosuspension is actually the safer route to go
(if you're prepared to assume the future will have advanced technologies,
and if your're not, then why even bother) because when you suspend an
entire body, there are tradeoffs in the suspension of the brain in order
to get the rest of the body to cool smoothly. Neurosuspensions allow for
better preservation of the brain, which seems to be the whole idea.
