I've always been curious as to how they can freeze sperm and eggs and just thaw them out and use them whenever. Obviously they're different from other cells of the body, but one would think that they're just as delicate.
I vaguely remember hearing that when eggs are frozen, the water from them is removed and replaced with another liquid that stops ice from forming inside the egg. I think the temperature is lowered extremely slowly for further protection.

Danny: I once wanted my ashes to be mixed in with my cat's food, that was until I realised I'd be turned into faeces.
