Can you freeze your body and come back to life? Shannon N. Tessier

Can you freeze your body and come back to life? Shannon N. Tessier

Rating: 4; Vote: 3
Dig into the field of cryobiology and explore the possibility of humans being frozen and preserved for future resurrection. In 1967, James Bedford had a plan to cheat death. He was the first person to be cryogenically frozen. This process promised to preserve his body until a theoretical future when humanity could cure any illness, and essentially, reverse death. So is it possible to freeze a human, preserve them indefinitely, and then thaw them out? Shannon N. Tessier explores the challenges of human cryopreservation. Dud3: Honestly, we're probably gonna get there in at most 50 years, technology is getting more and more advanced by the day and it's only getting faster. One day maybe we'll be able to abandon our weak flesh for the strength and certainty of steel

What about harnessing and building on the limitations of natural hibernation to achieve something similar to the stasis sleep of sci-fi movies. It could be useful for things like trips to Mars, where one or two of the crew are awake in 6 month shifts, putting down the previous shift, fine tuning instruments, ensuring the snoozing crew's muscles do not atrophy, other astronaut chores, waking up the next shift. The crew do not age the full 5 years the trip would take thanks to the extremely slowed metabolic rate caused by hibernation. Though before that we'd need to crack the nascent potential of the axolotl in paralell to hibernation to avoid any complications with the human hibernation process if it has any chance of working.

Man's immortality is not to live forever; for that wish is born of fear. Each moment free from fear makes a man immortal.

That the soul of man is immortal and will be treated with justice in another life respecting it's conduct in this.

I can t believe it will become possible. If we could do such things, the ecosystem of human being and other animals would be destroyed. I can t believe this at the same time I don t want that things become possible.

people of 2023: If I freeze myself future humanity will have the technology to unfreeze me and live forever!

Idk exactly why but to me, having body your body frozen even after death sounds painful. Maybe it's because I tend to think of the time I could've gotten frostbite when I submerged my hand in icy water.

If they can only vitrify small pieces at once, then they must disassemble you into a thousand pieces, vitrify then unvitrify them and reassemble successfully. Solved.

Why don t they just take every individual cell apart, freeze it and put it back together (when it s in the far future?
The ) symbolizes a second option

I just watched Vsause's Mind Field video called should I die and Kurzgesagt's video on how life is made of dead things, and then this shows up in my feed.

Who knows what the technology will be in the future?
Scientists might be able to just retrieve the data from the brain, not the entire body.

I've watched Highlander the series starring Adrian Paul - i saw enough to convince me living forever pretty much stinks. seems super depressing.
reply

If it did work you would age whenever you were thawed out so you would only experience a sample of each time period until you eventually died.
reply

I always wondered even if this was possible, would you have the same personality when thawed and if you didn't would you still be you.
reply

if you die and are brought back to life, what happens? do you just dissapear from heven all the sudden and become a mortal again?
reply

Revive is kinda out of question cuz brain is freezed so all ur that is what makes u u is already been destroyed. Memories etc.
