Subject: Storing body in inert liquid

This is a very naive question about something
I know absolutely nothing about, but...

Why isn't it possible to store a body at room
temperature in some form of inert fluid?
This would overcome cell damage due to freezing.

But there is obviously a reason why this can't
be done, so what is it?  Are there no liquid's
in existence that stop decay?  How about
liquids that change state (like jello) or
solidify if an electric current is passed 
through them?  Or is the problem simply that
you can't get a liquid to perfuse evenly
throughout a body? 

Just curious,
