This technology can extract only a fraction of a milliwatt of thermal energy. 
It works near the absolute zero, indeed on solid hydrogen, well beyond any 
temperature of interest to cryonics. Starting at room temperature, your could 
not even mesure the temperature drop!
There is very few hydrogen molecule anyway in a living body, to find plenty 
of them, look at a booster rocket on the launch pad.
