eli5 Why can human embryo’s be frozen but not human adult?
In: Biology
Back in the 80s they were doing scientific experiments on freezing and heating hamsters.
They had problems with the reheating process which left burns on the hamsters.
To solve this, they developed the microwave.
Anything larger than a hamster (ie rabbit) could not be frozen quick enough to survive the freezing and warming process.
Ergo, it won’t work on humans. But hamsters can enjoy the trip.
