Well, ASC has been done at least 2 years ago, and I really thought we have to create a huge bounty to incentivize labs to reduce toxicity.
*The $10bn Mouse Cryonics Prize* - https://blog.mindey.com/2016/04/01/why-10bn-mouse-cryonics-prize/ Question, how to do it practically? Maybe we should ask X-Prize Foundation to go ahead with that kind of prize?
