I'm about 50 years old, and freezers were in existence when I was born. In fact, we were just perfecting TV dinners at the time.

Have we invented a new type of "frozen"?

I'm not up on the technology behind cryopreservation, but here's something from the viacord.com website:

"After testing, your baby's cord blood unit is cryopreserved in cryoprotected blood bags at -196 degrees Celsius."

Unless your 50-year-old freezer could reach -196 degrees, I'd say the answer to your question was "yes." :-D
