s of one day living again. Nobody knows for sure whether we can ever restore consciousness frozen bodies, but cryopreservation is a phenomenon present in the animal kingdom and effective medical technology.
Many livestock have developed tricks to survive temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, accounting and after periods of paralysis caused by frost. And scientists have made important progress in freezing living tissue and even of whole organs for medical purposes.
The minimum price that the airline claims for his services is 28,000 dollars. Other organizations charge for customers and amounts up to $ 200,000 and offers the possibility of "neuroprezervării" instead of full body freeze, freezing heads may require only interested in the idea that personality and memories are stored in the brain and loaded into a computer or an artificial body in the future.
One obstacle to overcome is frozen ice crystals within the bloodstream are very sharp. They can actually cut tissue and blood vessels, causing sever damage that make it difficult preserving vital parts of the human body.
Question: Do you think this process of cryogenics is actually a possibility? Can we freeze our heads or bodies in hopes that one day technology will enable us to one day live again?

I find this most interesting, though why anyone would want my body in years to come is another matter. Thanks for sharing.

Why would you want just your head frozen?
ReplyDeleteI can see the value in freezing body parts. But the whole body in hopes of revival? It would be nothing but a soulless corpse.
I think there is validity in freezing a live body, but dead is dead. You've already gone for goodness sake. I can't see anyone volunteering for cryogenics when they are still breathing, but sorry, once you are dead that's it, kaput, fini, the end.
ReplyDeleteHi Stephen .. no I don't think I'll be look at Cryogenics - I really can't see it happening - and if it does .. it'll be done via evolution over rather more millions of years than I've got left ...
ReplyDeleteSo no thanks - but for Sci-Fi writers and ghoulish ideas .. it's a way to go; and from scientific experiments - yes we need to see what we can achieve ... but not this way to live again ...
Cheers Hilary
Hmm, Clinton Township isn't that far from me, less than 10 miles or so - and I've never heard of this facility! It's an interesting concept, but I don't think I'd want to come back.
