Cryonics: the hope for future revival

Death they say is inevitable, knowing what lies ahead after death is something no one can really talk about. Everyday by day we keep on hoping for a better life trying to recreate or to discover what would actually help human existence.

Many researchers today believes in finding out things that may create an impact in human, restructure some things and make life and things easier.

Looking beyond that, there are still some of us who strongly believe that the dead can actually be revived in the nearest future.

Robert ettinger when he was alive always have this believe that humanity might figure out a way of cheating death in the nearest future. His believe actually lead him to discover a way in which our body can be stored for future revival.

After so many attempt, he came up with a method of using liquid nitrogen to preserve the dead which in his term he referred as hospital where people that are metabolically challenged are being kept with the hope of restoring them back to life in the nearest future.

This is actually how the word cryonics came about and the people who believed in the future revival are termed cryonicists.

Cryonicists have this believe that time shall come when technology we advance to an extent where there will be reverse in aging process.

Due to their believe they devise a means of preserving the body through draining out the entire blood from the body thereby refilling it with antifreeze and organ preserving chemical called cryoprotective agent, which is now carried into a chamber filled with liquid nitrogen for future revival.

This idea of cryonics started like a joke but is now gradually turning out to be more realistic. As of the year 2014 there were more than 300 cryogenically frozen body which some of them are from different countries.

But as of today, people brings their relation from different parts of the world to be preserved for future.

Cryonicists to me may be called future believers. They have this confidence that tomorrow will get better knowing fully well that things might change in the nearest future.

After all this discovery there are still some researchers or rather scientist who believed but are still having some doubt on how the brain can be stored without being detoriated.

According to them brain are massively densed tissue that are well shielded by the blood brain barrier. They are made of different cells that actually protects itself from external body or object.

At this point I am actually leaving you guys to say your opinion on what you think about this new discovery and to contribute your own opinion as regards way forward.

how the cryonic process works

When someone who has already declared interest in cryonic preservation is dead. The body is being cooled with Ice water.

Then the body tissues are then oxygenated using CPR and oxygen mask where they are now being transferred to a silled container. After that the body is now being taken to the cryonic facility where it is being placed in a machine that helps to circulate the blood and maintain oxygenation.

Then a vitrification solution are being pumped in, to prevent the body from turning to ice. With this they can now bring down the body to -320f into the liquid nitrogen where it stays for future revival.

cryopreservation in relation to covid 19 pandemic

Covid 19 is a viral disease that have taken a lot of lifes in our country today. This disease has actually putting fear in people's life. Because of this disease alot of persons started declaring interest on cryopreservation hoping that even if they die tomorrow as a result of covid, that something might be done in the nearest future to bring them back to life again.

This actually broad people's mind on the need of cryopreservation in the hope of coming back alive tomorrow.

In conclusion

Cryopreservation is an idea brought up by Robert ettinger, who believed that tomorrow there may be need to bring back to life the dead one's. Due to his believe he later become the father of cryonics who still believe that something can be done after we must have died

Today in our present life's, most of the things we do is still under the believe of a better tomorrow. Nobody can actually tell how tomorrow will be. To me I believe that tomorrow things might turn around and life may be regained through cryonics.

Thanks for coming around

Cryopreservation is a good and welcomed advancement...

The major concern is the nitrogen needed for the process and how long can it be readily available for use.

As a new discovery we hope there will be changes as time goes on.

Honestly, the cryonics idea seem rather ridiculous to me. If the body is preserved in hope of future revival, what kind of technological advancement will restore the life force of those whose body are being preserved?
Secondly, what will likely happen if we have to preserved every dead body?

Nobody knows how the future will look. Even the so called cryonicists don't know. They all believe that the future researchers or rather scientist can be able to discover what might probably revive them. Is more of being optimistic
