What you fail to understand is that any collection of either highly 
differentiated cells or of size that cannot be reached by cryoprotectant 
diffusion only within a reasonable time frame is not currently fully 
capable of reversible cryopreservation.
A mouse is just as differentiate as a human and large enough that 
reversibly cryopreserving it is just as hard as any other whole mammal 
including humans.

Organs are being worked on first for that reason and because being less 
differentiated it is easier to find a cocktail of cryoprotectants which 
allows vitrification with sufficiently low toxicity for those kinds of 
cells only.

Yes, that is the whole point. I am glad to see that you agree.
