If we have the technology to both:

(1) Resuscitate cryo-preserved (vitrified) brain tissue.

(2) Re-create a body and somehow transfer this brain or mind into it (or upload consciousness)?

... then it is likely that we would have such a deep understanding of consciousness and mind that we could repair or scan-around the damage. I think we're talking about "singularity" levels of both technology and philosophical comprehension here. It's all total sci-fi for the time being.
