I have similar thoughts, as my understanding there is significant cell damage when frozen.

Some critters survive freezing, such as house flies, but they have certain characteristics within their cells that prevents damage. We don’t.

And we've already seen what happened to Jeff Goldblum when he got crossed with some fly DNA...it wasn't pretty.

That's of course because water expands as it freezes and bursts the cell walls. It's like leaving a bottle of soda or beer in the freezer too long and it bursts.
