The sperms of the future would have to decide how to deal with preservation. They would face an existential dilemma no sperm has ever dealt with before. A sperm, for instance, would have to recognize whether an egg cell is cryogenically preserved for 20 years or not. He would have to decide whether to prefer a wrinkled ovum over a fresh one, like we do when we choose between canned strawberries and their freshly-picked counterparts.
Women who aren't ready to get pregnant but would like to have their ovaries preserved for 'future use' must watch out for the effects of cryopreservation.
A sperm might just be able to sniff out the difference, especially if he's into a healthy lifestyle.
