...related experiment, Dr. Harold Thayer Meryman has frozen his own blood. First he took the precaution of drawing some of it from his body. Then he sprayed it with liquid nitrogen. This froze it. Dr. Meryman promptly thawed it, tagged it with radioactive chromium, then had it transfused back into his body. Object: to see whether the frozen blood would deteriorate faster than normal.
