I made a joke. There is NOTHING better than a good beer. I'm sorry if it
came across as a serious argument. Never mind me now. I'll just go have a
beer instead. 🙂

Hey, if frogs can do it why can't we?

Frogs change their genders sometimes! Even watch Jurassic Park? Humans do too! You're right! We're just like them.

As far as I know the largest animal to be cryrogenically frozen is the mouse. Even there the success rate for revival is about 10% of the frozen mice. If you were to freeze a larger animal you would have problems.

I have heard that you could just refrigerate an animal without freezing it but you would have to figure out a way to block the metabolic cycles that regulate body temperature.
