Since there is a special case of lighthouse jellyfish, human beings will also open the black box of "eternal life". In order to pursue immortality, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to look for elixir, but immortality is only an extravagant hope after all, but with the development of science and technology, "immortality" still exists.
Cryopreservation is an experimental medical technology. When animals and human bodies are refrigerated at low temperature (below minus 196 degrees Celsius), human bodies will enter a "dead" state, thus achieving another longevity. Many sick people freeze themselves and try to treat diseases with developed medical means in the future.
Zhan Wenlian is one of them. Zhan Wenlian was also the first person to be frozen in China. Zhan Wenlian is a Shandong woman. She has a beautiful family, but in 20 16, a bad news broke her quiet life. She has lung cancer, which is the fastest death rate among malignant tumors.
This year, Zhan Wenlian became weaker and weaker, coughing or chest pain every day. At present, the cause of lung cancer is still unclear and can only be treated by surgery. Shortly after the discovery of lung cancer, Zhan Wenlian underwent surgery, but unfortunately, Zhan Wenlian's lung cancer has metastasized many times.
After the operation, her cancer has not been alleviated, but has become more serious. Her husband and daughter are worried every day. By chance, my daughter saw some suggestions from netizens on the Internet and mentioned the freezing technology. After discussion, the family decided to try cryonics.
After 50 years, medical treatment is developed, thawing treatment is expensive, and liquid nitrogen tank is 400 thousand; Program cooling equipment, 400,000; Extracorporeal circulation machine, 654.38+0 million; Ventilator, 70,000 to 80,000; When the laboratory is set up, it costs 5 million yuan. After everything is done, antifreeze needs to be added, about 200,000 to 300,000.
This is a huge expenditure, but some scientific public welfare foundations have also provided a lot of help. On May 8, 20 17, Zhan Wenlian's breathing and heartbeat stopped, and the attending doctor announced that the patient had died, and the freezing officially began. Now Zhan Wenlian has been frozen and has not been thawed.
As for when to thaw, it is still unknown, and the scientific community is also very concerned. After all, Zhan Wenlian is a pioneer of refrigeration in China, and the country that strongly advocates refrigeration technology must be the United States. The first refrigeration technology in the world was completed in the United States 50 years ago, and the United States has always listed refrigeration technology as one of the top ten unsolved mysteries.
At present, the largest cryonics companies are Alco Life Extension Fund and cryonics institutions in the United States, but cryonics in the United States is still frozen, and everyone knows what will happen after thawing.
