Most doctors are sure that eggs can be frozen safely for ten years. Other doctors believe that since they are stored in liquid nitrogen, which stops all biological activity in an egg, these eggs can last indefinitely!<br /><br /><br />Lindsey Dugas (1)Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-23562658545112542662013-02-12T22:27:16.143-08:002013-02-12T22:27:16.143-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-14112271623759432862013-02-12T22:22:47.577-08:002013-02-12T22:22:47.577-08:00Cryopreservation has a success rate of 71-79% in h...Cryopreservation has a success rate of 71-79% in humans, and it has also been successful in animals such as elephants and mice.

Cryogenics, if developed correctly and in the near future could definitely help so many. The medical field could use this technology for organs or surgeries and so could those in the armed forces to prevent casualties and such.

Is it a crap shoot as to whether or not they survive (IE water crystallizing in cells sometimes but not others), or is the method consistent and reliable?<br /><br />Michael Ball (1)Mike0331https://www.blogger.com/profile/13535353804448441656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008122866340502585.post-16403500608984651422013-02-08T20:35:14.906-08:002013-02-08T20:35:14.906-08:00It's amazing to think that we could keep an &q...It's amazing to think that we could keep an "embryo bank" of a species and thereby prevent it from becoming "truly" extinct.

With cryopreservation being a great way of improving output levels from animal breeding and preserving genetic diversity we can now prevent the decline of the extinction or endangerment of many fascinating organism on our planet. With Klondike posing as only one example of life arising from a frozen dog embryo, it is exciting to imagine what other organisms we can and will use this same technology on.<br />Posted by Marshall Moini Peter Houlihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961900865379520219noreply@blogger.com
