Reanimated Lobsters? 104
SYFer writes "Trufresh, a Connecticut-based frozen food company claims that lobsters frozen with its special freezing process sometimes come back to life when thawed.
If these claims prove true, will the dubiously regarded field of "cryonics" finally get some respect?" If people were more like lobsters, maybe. The company's success rate at reviving lobsters after short-term freezing (at -40 degrees) is 12 out of 200.

Kill them once, shame on you; kill them twice, shame on them.

My hypothesis would be a genetic component there, which the antifreeze protein you are suggesting would fit with.

I need 200 volunteers. Only 12 or so of you will make it through this experiment but it is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

"Arthur prodded the mattress nervously and then sat on it himself: in fact he had very little to be nervous about, because all mattresses grown in the swamps of Squornshellous Zeta are very thoroughly killed and dried before being put to service. Very few have ever come to life again."

When it turns out you have too many employees, just send a couple of them into the freezers under some pretext, and thaw them out when things get busy again.
