eli5 Why can human embryo’s be frozen but not human adult?
In: Biology
I’m assuming you’re talking about reanimation.
Tom Scott recently published a very interesting video, where he interviewed a scientist tangentially involved in the invention of the microwave, he was using it to experiment on reanimating mice. The short answer to your question, is that they were only able to get it to work for small things – it worked for some of the mice, but for larger creatures it doesn’t work well, and that goes for both the reanimation process and also for the freezing process.
