 What interested me was only the following paragraph:

>Cryo is the process of deep-freezing cell, tissues or gametes
for later use. However, in horses, variation in sperm survival following
freezing, between individual stallions, hinders this technology.
Veterinarian researchers Claire Plante, John Pollard, Walter Johnson and
DVSc Student Tracey Chenier, theriogenology, are identifying factors which
underlie semen variability in response to freezing.<

It made me  wonder at what point in time will cryo protectants be custom
made for a particular individual with a particular medical condition.
