I definitely didn't forget the hamsters :) Maybe crtl+f didn't work correctly? Here's Lovelock's original paper if you're curious: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

  Oh yes! I missed it, sorry.

  Awesome article and glad you pointed towards the YouTube video, where Lovelock was interviewed, which ultimately answered my question: can Cryogenics be used to freeze humans? According to that fascinating and interesting video, answer (for now) is no because "it's partly a matter of how quickly you can get anti-freeze agent to diffuse into the cells ... humans too big."

  Nitpicking, but 0° to 1°C isn’t cryogenic, merely deeply hypothermic. Therapeutic near-body temp hypothermia is often used post-cardiac arrest, while recovery from hypothermic states as a result of misadventure has often been documented.
