Still, if they could do it you'd make a good Antarctic explorer, wouldn't you? No need for all those warm clothes.
Doesn't explain how they freeze sperm and eggs though. I'm sure they're not full of antifreeze, if they are we're pushing evolution hard!

maybe as an egg or a sperm there are a lot less cells to dammage where as a grown product of the combination of both is much more complex and larger and teh risk of dammage greater but thats just pure specualtion
a few years ago a mammoth was found preserved in ice and although they cant revive it if i remember correctly they do think they could clone it in the near future so it may be a case that things like dna can survive freezing and remain viable but larger cells cant.
iv got some juice on ice in manchester from before my radiotherapy treatment that was planned for me if i ever pop back to use it ill ask lol
