"Although no one can quantify the probability of cryonics working, I estimate it is at least 90% -- and certainly nobody can say it is zero" (Drexler). Cryonics is the freezing of oocytes, a human, or another living being for preservation. Oocytes are cells in the ovary that may become ovum. People do this in hopes to see the far future or have a child later in life. This connects to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the advancement of science and Jekyll’s agreement with it. Jekyll believes in the advancement in science, therefore, cryogenics and cryopreservation should be continued because the scientists do whatever they can to get them to work and take good care of their patients. Also, if it works, cryopreservation may give people a second chance

The scientist are doing experiments, so the situations can’t be perfect. According to the text, “In reality there will be many deviations between the organization’s protocol and what actually happens. Human cryopreservation cases are not controlled laboratory experiments, and as many people who have extensive experience doing cases know, unique situations present themselves, including frustrating events that are beyond the control of even the most skilled medical professional” (de Wolf 3). Mistakes can set back research, but that lets the scientists learn and further advance cryopreservation. In both oocyte and human cryopreservation, scientists take many points into consideration while doing these experiments to ensure it isn’t a waste, which is important for the experiment to go well. For example, “Major points of consideration are the time and temperature of exposure of embryos to the vitrification solution, the concentration of the solution surrounding the embryos as well as the type of the vessel, vial or straw to hold the embryo during vitrification” (Koutlaki, et al 429). Doing this lets the scientists know the perfect conditions for the embryos, further preventing waste. When these people care about their work and patients, and do deep research, they can be victorious. Their triumph could mean a new life for the
