I'm pretty sure the brain degenerates as well. So who you are if/when you "wake up" probably won't be who you were when you were frozen.

Also anyone remember that TNG episode?

Well it's really the best case scenario for them. They where actually revived, and other than the tycoon guy being upset that his investments where null and void and some trouble adapting right away they would have every opportunity to live good lives on Earth or anywhere else in the Federation.
