Everyone was in favor of saving Hitler's brain. But when you put it in the body of a great white shark. Ooo, suddenly you go too far!

So the brain organoid grew normally after thawing and kept the phenotypes tested (normal and epilepsy).

Organoid is very different from a full organ or organism though. Useful for research, extreme doubt for any clinical utility though.

"Works perfectly" huh? That's better than most can claim before freezing! ACT NOW! for a BIG discount!
