That's a goal I hope CI and Alcor are both working towards.< Not everyone agrees with that. Vitrification may just be a pie in the sky. The solution may really be very simple. Maybe a few enzyme inhibitors and then regular freezing. There is no real evidence ice crystals are the prime cause of freeze damage. It is probably only a secondary consequence.
