Welcome to the frosty gateway to eternal life – cryonics, a field of medicine that unfolds extraordinary possibilities for humanity. In 1773, Benjamin Franklin proposed the idea of preserving human life through body “conservation” in a letter. This notion, however, remained dormant for centuries.
Fast forward to 1962, when Professor Robert Ettinger of the University of Michigan penned “The Prospect of Immortality.” Ettinger’s groundbreaking work outlined the potential for frozen humans to await a future where medical advancements could revive them. Despite the initial skepticism surrounding the freezing of humans, Ettinger posited that restoration was conceivable, offering the prospect of returning individuals to their lives. This concept, combined with the idea of early clinical death, laid the foundation for the belief that human freezing and conservation held the promise of saving and reviving lives.
On January 12, 1967, history was made with the cryoconservation of the world’s first human – 73-year-old psychologist James Bedford. Today, approximately 500 individuals are already cryoconserved, with an additional 5000 having signed contracts for cryoconservation upon legal death.
The cryoconservation procedure is initiated only after legal death. Immediate freezing of the body and the stimulation of the heart are crucial to keeping body cells alive. Without this procedure, the regeneration of blood circulation becomes impossible, leading to the rapid deterioration of body and brain cells due to oxygen deprivation. Throughout the cryonics process, preventing ice formation is vital as it can be harmful to cells.
Upon restoring blood circulation, the next phase involves injecting protective substances to prevent cell death while the body is frozen. When the body temperature reaches 10°C, the elimination of blood from the body begins, and organ retention fluid is injected in its place. The patient’s body is then placed in specialized cryonics equipment, maintaining a temperature of 0°C and filling up with a special liquid until completion. This liquid ensures the preservation of cell integrity. Subsequently, a rapid cooling program commences, lowering the body temperature to -130°C and maintaining it consistently. Once -130°C is achieved, the slow cooling program brings the body down to -196°C.
Post-procedure, the body is inverted in a cryostat and maintained at -196°C through liquid nitrogen. Equipped with monitoring instruments, the cryostat ensures the preservation of status, mode, temperature, and other parameters. In the unlikely event of liquid nitrogen depletion, our safety protocols, including the upside-down placement of the body, guarantee the preservation of the brain, prioritizing the utmost safety and security for our clients.
Revival
ReCryo provides cryoconservation services, ensuring that if scientists discover how to revive individuals after death, our clients can seamlessly continue their lives.
While no one cryoconserved has been revived to date, the ongoing scientific progress in this field holds unprecedented promise for the future of humanity. ReCryo remains committed to staying at the forefront of these breakthroughs, believing in the extraordinary possibilities that lie ahead. Join us in the quest for revival at ReCryo, where the future unfolds with endless possibilities.
Worth Paying Attention:
It’s crucial to highlight that:
- Already, numerous experiments have proven cryoconservation methods that enable the freezing of bodies without ice formation, preserving essential cells for future recovery without any harm.
- Scientists envision the possibility of recovering and renewing cells in the future, even if they have been damaged.
- Future technologies may allow for the scanning of human memory and information stored in cryoconservated brains.
- As technology advances, the potential for cloning organs or entire bodies could facilitate the transfer of memories, feelings, sensibilities, character, skills, and minds from a cryoconservated brain into a new body, enabling the revival of an individual for a second life.
- There are no fundamental biological reasons to claim that the revival of cryoconservated humans is impossible. The future holds immense promise for groundbreaking possibilities in the realm of cryonics.
