For many years, this was believed to be science fiction. Some people still believe it isn't possible, as do I. We have all seen "Cryogenic Freezing" of a human body in videogames. Well, there is this company called Alcor- http://www.alcor.org/ which will Cryogenically Vitrify your body(or if you don't have a lot of money - they can scoop off your head). Vitrify means to put the organs of the body at temperatures of about -120 degress F without them freezing. This is all done as a last resort for some people who can't have their diseases cured. People do this, hoping that one day, Scientists will have learned how to thaw you out of your vitrified state, and cure your sickness. Imagine that...

Guys, this is not freezing, it's something entirely more advanced called Vitrification. In the case of freezing, your frozen - not much molecular movement. However, with vitrification, your body and organs can reach temperatures of -180 degrees F without their cells being frozen.

Saving someone is different from preserving the DEAD

That's nothing but conjecture.


Yeah, let's do that. Let's let all the LIVING PEOPLE die from diseases and vitrify them Far as I'm concerned, vitrification or crynological preservation are MOSTLY for cowards who can't accept their inevitable deaths. Course, it's their money, it's their life and their choice.

Alot of people are afraid of death. In fact, you could probably consider it natural. After being on this planet for so many years, spending your life, making a difference, some people would like to wake up in the year 4000 and see where technology has taken us. My guess is by 4000 humans will be extinct..but you never know.

Chances are these people aren't going to wake up again.

preserving someone cyrogenically is against the natural order of things.

This isnt nessecarily true. Some frogs do it all the time in the wild, naturally.

Yes, it's my opinion that preserving yourself in the hope of rising from the dead is stupid and consider this unnatural. How you arrived to equate this statement to me being againts everything natural law breaking act (good or not) of humanity is beyond me. :???:

This is nothing like that. This is done for a reason. If your medical disease cannont be cured in todays medical science, your body is vitrified, in the hopes that one day medical science will have advanced far enough to cure you of your disease and thaw you out. Theres a difference between being dead and legally dead. There may still be hope. People want to fulfill their life as long as possible, and this may be a chance for them. And what natural law breaking act? The laws of nature are very flexibile, we are not entirely limited to what happens naturally on our planet. I look at nature as a resource for us. We can use those resources to do more than nature itself in some cases. If we learn how to harness them(as we are doing every day), we can do amazing things.

Some may vitrify themselves just to live to the year 4000, but I don't believe that is nesecarily the case. Your gonna die eventually, everybody will.

That last sentence made me lol. Think of what will happen to the poor bastards if no one ever comes up with a way to "unvitrify" them.

Yeah, that's a possibilty. But I don't think the people care. They just think they are going to wake up some day. This technology is to early and hasn't really been tested and proven to work. Those people could be dead. This company just seems to be into the business for the cash.
