Suppose I find a means to freeze your entire body for arbitrary periods at the state it was in, then unfreeze you anytime I want. Do you have consciousness?

Since cryogenics is still science fiction, this is a bad argument. We don't actually know if biology allows this, so most likely you just die.

    Okay take it to the most conceptual extreme of it. It may be extremely difficult bur its possible to record your entire state and recreate it later right? Then what? Are you not conscious?

    I think its odd to dismiss the question of ai consciousness just because of the setting we let them live in at present is start-stop.
