Dave, I wonder about seed from tropical plants being frozen. Since they
would not be frozen in their native habitat, would freezing harm them? My
guess is that it would not. Your example of human "seed" being frozen and
remaining viable when thawed is excellent. Interesting thinking. Bill
Shear, any comments?
