We came across this book at the early stage of our research, and were fortunate enough to get in touch with Professor Radin. This book uses simple and interesting language to recount the history of cryopreservation, its technical and ethical challenges, and its powerful potential.
We recommend this book to those who are interested in the history of medicine and technology, as well as those who try to understand what it means to have a material “archive” of biological development.
Think about the development of our civilization this way:
Mankind used to document history on walls, on bamboos, on papers, then on computer chips, and now, on “freezing samples”. The ability that cryopreservation enables mankind to write a biological history of “life” is fascinating.
