There was a recent incident in San Francisco where cryopreserved human
embryos were lost due to leakage or something in a nitrogen tank.
Better not to wreck the car in the first place, than trying to rebuild it
from a few frozen parts. That said, I fully support Brandon Hopkins and the
USDA in their efforts to cryopreserve as much genetic material as possible.
