definition
Cryopreservation technology is listed as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries in American life science. This technology has also been listed as one of the top ten future technologies beyond the limits of human beings by foreign magazines. It is an experimental medical science and technology, which puts human or animals in a cold storage with extremely low temperature (minus 196 degrees Celsius) and dreams of being revived and treated after being thawed by advanced medical technology in the future. At present, the largest cryonics companies are Alcor Life Extension Foundation and Cryopreservation Institute in the United States.
expense
The charge for human body refrigeration ranges from $9,000 (brain refrigeration of KrioRus Company in Russia) to $28,000 (whole body refrigeration of Cryopreservation Institute) to $150,000 (whole body refrigeration of Alcor Life Extension Foundation), depending on different companies, services, countries or regions. In addition, the human refrigerator can also be paid in the form of life insurance or by installments.
Philosophical, moral and ethical considerations: Many religious people believe that the conflict between cryonics technology and religion is mainly because the human soul has left, and this technology cannot freeze the human soul. However, cryonics companies believe that cryonics, like people who sleep or are in a coma for a long time, will never leave their bodies, while cryonics technology, like other medical technologies, only tries to heal and prolong their lives. Cryonics companies even think that cryonics is like a sick patient. Therefore, the freezing company believes that cryonics technology does not conflict with religion.
condition
No research has proved that people can be frozen and then resurrected. There is no guarantee that the state of waking up again after freezing is not much different from that before freezing. Because the human brain and heart have to survive at a certain temperature, this is still in the research stage.
