Define 'successful'. Plenty of people have been cryogenically frozen Walt Disney syle.But if success also involves bringing them back to life afterwards the answer is no, no one has ever been sucessfully frozen and revived.
No but simpler organisms such as bacteria have been succefully flash frozen and re-heated (again in a fraction of a second) and survived.
Plenty of people have been frozen successully, it's the "waking up" part that doesn't work yet. ;)
in tissue culture labs, the cell lines are frequently frozen in Liquid Nitrogen for years n r revived 'satisfactorly' (i say so cos iny fraction of cells die). The success rate is significantly high.Ofcourse when it comes to organism as whole my guess is as good as others'PS: I have heard similar story with some animal models like sheep n goat which were frozen for 10 yrs..dont have the follow up.
