Important research here. If we learn to cryopreserve organs, thousands of lives will be saved each year. This would be a gigantic step toward workable cryonics for whole humans.

Interesting. Maybe in a few years or so they will solve the mystery and be able to use that knowledge to help humans.

This is the most interesting and credible

The real question is......
Has anyone extended the time the frog remains frozen to see if it reanimates after a year, two years or 20 yeaers.
Several months in the winter might be its limit.
Combining frog DNA with human genes might create a mutant human who can live in or out of water and cryosleep for long space flights.
The bonus might be basketball superstars "swamping" the sport because of improved jumping ability.

These creatures would make wonderful paperweights, if you have a chilly office. It's also shaped right to be a good doorstop.

I did this with houseflies when I was a kid. They froze solid in the freezer, and I thawed them with Mom's hair dryer the next day; they buzzed off with no apparent ill effects.
I'm sure they were a touch annoyed at me, but anything in the name of science.

Wood frogs were designed to be frozen solid. People weren't.
Good research may yield some useful things but forget about thawing out those cryogenic hopefuls. They're dead, Jim!

Good thing John Kerry wasn't elected president since the French habit of eating frog legs would then again be popular in DC and thousand of these little creatures would have become amputees.

Maybe this is where 'Crunchy Frog' candy comes from.

The normally pliant and slimy amphibian becomes for lack of a better word -- slushy.
Yum. a Frog Slushy !!!
Beats the heck out of a Cherry Coke Slushy. And Apu agrees with me on that !
