Can you freeze your body and wake up in the future?

Arizona-based company Alcor offers cryonic preservation to its members – the option to freeze their bodies after death, with the intention of being revived when future technology makes this possible. Currently it has no way of reviving the preserved bodies, but it is optimistic that it will be able to done one day.

Why is cryonics a good thing?

Once cardiac arrest has occurred and death has been pronounced, a cryonics subject can be given medications to maintain sedation, reduce cerebral metabolism, prevent/reverse blood clotting, increase blood pressure, stabilize pH against acidosis, and protect against ischemia/ reperfusion injury.

Will cryonics ever be possible?

Cryobiologist Kenneth B. Storey said in 2004 that cryonics is impossible and will never be possible, as cryonics proponents are proposing to “over-turn the laws of physics, chemistry, and molecular science”.

Does cryonics work on animals?

Originally Answered: Has cryonics ever been tested on animals? Cryonics has, so far, not been used to reduce any complex organism to liquid nitrogen temperatures and then resuscitated them.

What celebrities have been frozen?

Pages in category “Cryonically preserved people”

• Fred and Linda Chamberlain.

Does cryonics destroy the brain?

Cryonics uses temperatures below −130 °C, called cryopreservation, in an attempt to preserve enough brain information to permit the future revival of the cryopreserved person. Even using the best methods, cryopreservation of whole bodies or brains is very damaging and irreversible with current technology.

What does cryogenically mean?

production of very low temperatures
1a : of or relating to the production of very low temperatures. b : being or relating to very low temperatures.

Which creature survived being frozen for 30 years?

tardigrade
In 2016, a group of Japanese scientists successfully revived another resilient animal — the tardigrade, also known as a water bear — after 30 years of cryptobiosis, or suspended animation prompted by freezing, desiccation or other adverse conditions.

Can I freeze my dog?

For a dog, cryopreservation cost is $5,800 up to 15 pounds in weight plus $150 per pound for every pound above 15. For a pet bird of typical size we charge $1,000, but the price may be higher for a very large bird. Put ice and ice-water around your pet so that it will cool and remain at ice-water temperature.
