The fact that the soul leaves the body is why reviving the dead can't happen in my opinion. And even if you don't believe in a soul, I don't see how you'd revive someone dead. Wouldn't the brain be severely damaged by such a process? After all, 80 percent of our brain is water, and water expands in freezing. Wouldn't this damage brain tissue?

Yes, the brain and the body are severely damaged by freezing, because the ice crystals that form are spikey and tear through the cells.

Supposedly, sometime in the future, nanorobots will be used to repair this kind of cellular damage.

Yes, freezing does damage to tissue. However, the hope is that future medical science will be able to reverse this damage. It might never be possible, but it certainly won't be possible if the body is left to decay normally.
