One of the issues with cryonics in large animals is sufficiently saturating all of the tissues with cryoprotectants to prevent frostbite. Some have speculated that it might be possible to engineer an organism to produce it’s own cryoprotectant proteins inside all of its cells, as some arctic fish and insects do.
That wouldn’t help with getting even heat into all of the tissues for thawing though.
It won’t. That’s simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.
Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized
How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?
