Where is the logic ?
Why should it sleep in the roughest environment on earth, although it is able to survive everywhere?
Or does it like to sleep until Armageddon to destroy our gentle habitat?

Also it is superfluo! We are at the half way to finish already!
Cloned with man it may bred unfreezable humans without brain who like to live on mars without protective suit.

Effectful, but not for effectively use!
