Explanation

"Freezing time" in medicine refers to the process of preserving cells, tissues, or even whole organs at extremely low temperatures. This is done to stop any biological activity, essentially 'pausing' the life of these cells or tissues. The main goal is to maintain their viability for future use, such as in transplants or research. This method is commonly used in fertility treatments, where eggs or sperm are frozen for later use.
