Some of your comments (& that last link above) implied that your thought is more about "keeping brain on ice until technology exists such that it can be scanned & reimplemented" rather than "keep body on ice until technology exists to fix whatever killed me".
That last link makes reference to the tangled causational web of brain/mind, but doesn't explicitly talk about the influence of everything else that goes on in your body. IIRC there's evidence that at least some of our thoughts are post-justifications of emotional processes that are already going on when we start creating the thought to justify them, and emotions are strongly linked to hormones & assorted brain-chemicals. If that's the case, then to replicate "you" you'd need also to replicate a fair amount of physical infrastructure to go along with that. Obviously, scanning hormonal/chemical state as a snapshot at time of death isn't going to be wildly useful; I have no idea to what extent it's feasible to suggest that one would be able to scan all the relevant physical bits & reconstruct how your own chemical makeup worked the rest of the time.
I think my own concern with the idea more generally (apart from the practical issues of "how many people can we support in the world anyway, if some of 'em stop dying") is what djm4 says about Wonderfluonium. I am unconvinced by the "but we will get unimaginably better at this in the future!" argument. (Possibly especially so given that in my more depressive moments I'm inclined to suspect that as a world, our ability to pursue technical innovation is likely to drop over the next 50-100 years, not to increase.)
Last time I was looking into such things, which admittedly is a while back now, I found the calorie-reduction thing a far more plausible option for life extension. Probably not going to get you the sort of timespan you're after, though; it's more aimed at hanging on in there until anti-aging science gets better.
