Reply to comment by Ishana92 in If freezing tissue generally damages the cells, how are we able to freeze human eggs and embryos for birthing later? by badblackguy

So you mean that If we lose 50% of individual cells , it doesn't matter as we can mitosise them. But if we lose 50% cells of a tissue , the tissue may stop working?

No. If you freeze 50 eggs and 25 of the eggs are damaged by freezing/thawing that doesn't affect the other 25 eggs which weren't damaged.

If you freeze a heart and half of it is damaged, the whole thing will no longer work when you put it in someone.
