Nematodes have evolved a survival strategy under which they regularly undergo freezing with their own natural cryoprotectant. We can expect that unlike humans, every protein and system has undergone long term selection for cryogenic stability.
This is a good point. However, the post only discusses the substrates of personal identity in C. elegans.
