    The Future of Immortality Princeton Studies in Culture and Technology Tom Boellstorff and Bill Maurer, Series Editors This series presents innovative work that extends classic ethnographic methods and questions into areas of pressing interest in technology and economics. It explores the varied ways new technologies combine with older technologies and cultural understandings to shape novel forms of subjectivity, embodiment, knowledge, place, and community. By doing so, the series demonstrates the relevance of anthropological inquiry to emerging forms of digital culture in the broadest sense.

    1 Kinetic Vitrification of Spermatozoa of Vertebrates: What Can We Learn from Nature? I.I. Katkov** et al.* CELLTRONIX and Sanford-Burnham Institute for Medical Research, San Diego, California, USA Dedicated to the memory of Father Basile J. Luyet (1897-1974) 1. Introduction This as well as two other related Chapters, by Isachenko et al. and Moskovtsev et al., open this Book neither accidentally nor by the Editor’s preferences to his friends and collaborators; the reasons, in fact, lie quite deeper: Why sperm? Cryobiology had actually started from freezing sperm. We will skip all those very early anecdotes but should mention the Spallanzani attempt to freeze frog semen in the 18th century [Spallanzani, 1780]. Cryobiology as a science started with revolutionizing work of Father Luyet and other scientists of the late 1930’s and 1940’s, who we can collectively call “the pioneers of the cryobiological frontiers” (see the following sub-Chapter). There were several reasons why sperm was chosen, which included easiness in obtaining the samples, clear evidence of viability (moving – not moving, though later it was figured that everything was not so easy in this sophisticated living “cruise missile”), and importance for the farming industry with the emergence of systematic selective breeding (especially in cattle) with a powerful tool – artificial insemination (AI). AI started with the revolutionary work of W. Heape, I.I. Ivanov and other scientists at the dawn of the 20th century and was further developed by V.K. Milovanov in the 1930’s as a viable breeding technology (see [Foote, * V.F. Bolyukh2, O.A.
