#Why cryonics technology is unreliable#
How much do you know about cryonics technology?
Cryonics technology is listed as one of the unsolved mysteries of the ten adult brains. The technology has also been listed by foreign magazines as one of the top ten future science and technology beyond the limits of human beings. It is a medical science and technology in the experiment, which refrigerates and preserves human beings or animals at extremely low temperatures (below -196 degrees Celsius), and dreams of being able to resurrect and treat them after thawing through advanced medical technology in the future. The largest current human refrigeration company is the Alcor Life Extension Fund and the American Cryonics.
From the moral and ethical considerations to analyze the problem: many religious people believe that the cryonics technology conflicts with religion, mainly because the human soul has left, the technology can not restore the frozen human soul. However, the cryonics company believes that the soul of the cryonician will not leave the body just like a person who sleeps or is in a coma for a long time, and the cryonics technology, like other medical technologies, only tries to heal or prolong the life of the refrigerated person, and the freezer company believes that the cold collector is just like a sick patient. Therefore, the freezing company believes that there is no conflict between cryonics technology and religion.
In the United States, the rich can choose to be buried in the ground or frozen until humans invent the technology of rebirth. But what happens when you are frozen before you die of nature? In fact, ice crystals do not damage cells, they just divide them in two. You can't bring the fish in the refrigerator back to life now, but it won't turn into something else because it's simply frozen. Of course, for cells to die, scientists need to create conditions for more matters.
Alcor is a non-profit organization founded in 1972 and is one of only four institutions in the world capable of independently implementing cryonics. The group advocates, studies, and implements Cryonics, which freezes human corpses and brains with liquid nitrogen after legal death. As of August 31, 2021, a total of 172 people have died and their bodies have been treated with cryonics. Save the entire body for a fee of $200,000.
In May 2017, the body of Ms. Zhan Wenlian, a volunteer for the first "human cryopreservation" operation in China, was transferred to the Cryogenic Medical Research Center of Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute for long-term preservation in a liquid nitrogen tank at minus 196 °C. Before her death, she and her family signed the relevant documents with Yinfeng. They believe that perhaps one day she can be "resurrected" and received treatment to restore her health.
There are many life phenomena in nature that can still be revived at low temperatures, such as a larva in the Arctic that experiences freezing at a liquid nitrogen temperature of -196 °C, and a North American tree frog that freezes all over the body, and can survive after rewarming. These low-temperature life phenomena give people great hope. In addition, the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has also tried to introduce the method of feeding ants antifreeze polysaccharides and related biomimetic cryopreservation methods, which have initially successfully improved the low temperature antifreeze characteristics of small animals and provided a feasible way for the cryopreservation of living organisms, but there are still huge challenges from the real clinical needs. The objective reality is that resurrection technology faces great difficulties. At present, there are no cases of resuscitation of large live animals after long-term cryopreservation, let alone human resurrection.
Cryonic resurrection not only tests scientists' skills, but also threatens to encounter ethical dilemmas. For example, how to adapt to the new era of cryogenic resurrection, and if the cryonic resurrection technology is promoted, can the earth's carrying capacity accommodate so many people? Therefore, whether from the technical aspect or the ethical and legal aspects, the cryonics technology is difficult.
Where does this technology go in the future? What are your views on cryonic resurrection technology, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss it together.
