  • When you die, there are a lot of things you can do with your dead body--embalm it, cremate it, donate it to science (the list goes on…), but some people will choose to have their dead bodies, or body parts, frozen until the technology of the future has (hopefully) advanced enough to bring them back to life. This week on Reactions, we break down the chemistry of cryogenic freezing and if it’s realistic to think we could ever reanimate a frozen corpse.

    Did you know that some species of frog can survive freezing? When the wood frog, found in North America, begins to freeze it releases sugar--from its liver--into its bloodstream. That sugar travels to its tissues where it helps keep cells from dehydrating and shrinking. Cool, right? Sadly, we humans don’t have this adaptation and with cryonics we’d be frozen AFTER we’re already dead (these incredible frogs are still alive!). So, no dice.

      I think you are very right. I'm very sure the people who have been frozen now aren't going to be alive ever again. Our technology isn't up there *yet*. The neurons need to be sustained pretty much perfectly which isn't the case at all right now. Besides that, if you want to have an actual chance (in the future), you should be frozen alive. However, this isn't legalized yet. At the moment cryogenic freezing is basically a waste of money.

      You’ll be a nicely preserved corpse in a dewar while the other cryo cultists gather around your remains to talk nonsense and do weird things. The only traveling you’ll be doing is when the company inevitably goes belly up in the future and they just bury you in that can, or they send you to some other cryonics facility maintained by philanthropic cultists. On a long enough timeline though, you will thaw and go back to the earth for whatever reasons. Even with the way Alcor and Cryonics Institute set aside funds to sustain you. No company lasts forever. There’s always mismanagement, scandal, economic collapse. Even if you manage to stay frozen, the process that got you there is one that required your organs and circulatory system to be poisoned. Your brain is dead. The information and spark of human life is all gone. Frozen meat pumped full of toxic substances is all you’ll be.

    The whole point of cryonics is a bet on technologies of the FUTURE, not the capabilities of the past or present, which is why most of this video isn't relevant. As long as the neurons can be successfully preserved, that's all that's important for now. If advanced molecular nanotechnology comes to pass within the next couple of decades (as predicted), we should have a pathway for either repairing all the damage and reviving the "corpsicle," or copying the brain pattern to reconstruct it in a computer architecture (which could "live" in a virtual world or be downloaded to an advanced robotic form that is perhaps indistinguishable from humans). So what are the odds of this occurring and people being revived? 50%? 10%? 1%? Well, if you DON'T get cryogenically frozen, the odds of being revived are exactly 0%. So if you have the money, what do you have to lose? You can't take it with you....

      Because, think about how vastly our bodily functions differ from any other organism vic versa. Sure there are similarities we can find here and there, but when discussing Cryogenics is an extremely sensitive process that would require the utmost detailed solutions within and throughout. From what happens when we die on a cellular level, to what happens during the time our cells remain frozen. Our bodies are an incredibly complex powerhouse of chemicals and functions flowing in all kinds of specified directions. Also include other variable like , avg rate humans decompose at, normally and while frozen, the time frozen, specific cause of death, the fact the subject has died already so we’d also have to pretty much bring a mummy to life based on the knowledge of how they died, technically a cure to that illness plus some resuscitation. And an infinite number of other variables.

I think that most even damaged people can be resurrected in perfect condition given time. It might take 1000 years to get that point, but it doesn't matter. For me if I got money and I was close to death I would choose to freeze myself. It is risks but better than to be dead for sure.

    Because cryonics has more uses than giving hope to the dying, it has implications for space travel, and preservation, its slowly building into an industry all it’s own. It wont be long before before SpaceX or Google buys up some of these smaller companies. We are at the very start of a snowball effect and in the next 30 years we will see cryogenics boom as an industry. I see real hope in the future.

    Not that much related, but on a side note, i think it's more possible that science in the next 100 years helps our life expectancy increases to double (~160-170 years old) that our actual amount than to restore dead frozen people. Still, i think it's worth taking a shot if you have the money and still scientifically possible (but remote) if you believe.

We had a patient who was 106 and all she wanted was to die, she was in good health and sound mounded too, many of our patients are over 100 and none of them wants to live longer, for some is actually a torture, many of them pray and beg everyday to just die.

    This video would have been better if you had discussed the topic with cryonics proponents to get a clear picture of their actual claims and positions. It's generally assumed that some form of molecular repair, or something equivalent, will be needed *before* the cells are thawed, so all the talk about cells surviving thawing or not is irrelevant. Cryonicists don't mainly fear ice crystals because they kill cells, but because ice crystals mechanically displace and scramble tissues in ways which are not fully understood, and there's a risk that the healthy state of the neuron can't be inferred from its damaged state, so even molecular repair would be useless. It may well be that the information is preserved after all, even in straight frozen brains, but vitrified brains look much better under the microscope, with our limited observation technologies, so it seems a safer bet. It's true that cell viability is emphasized as a convenient and useful proxy to measure the general quality of the cryopreservation, but the growing interest among many cronicists in effective but very lethal techniques such as ASC (aldehyde-stabilized cryopreservation) goes to show that for them it's ultimately about preserving information, not cell viability as such.
    The way ice crystals damage cells is not accurately portrayed either. For starters, the cooling process in cryonics (at least in the old protocols that invoved significant ice formation) is very slow, to avoid the formation of intracellular ice. Again, not because intracellular ice takes up more space than liquid water, but because it tends to displace, crush (not burst) and otherwise damage organelles, membranes and other vital parts of the cell. Now, extracellular ice tends to remove water from cells, IOW cells are dehydrated to the point they collapse (not burst) and are chemically damaged by the rising ion concentration. This ice can also displace and mechanically damage the extracellular matrix, and dislodge cells from their original spots.
    The point of the worm experiment is to show that memories can survive LN2 temperatures. We already knew they survive a flat EEG and near-freezing temperatures in humans, and we already knew that some relatively large animals like frogs survive freezing (but not to LN2 temperatures) and that tiny animals like C elegans survive freezing to LN2 temperatures, but we didn't know whether these remember anything after behing thawed. Now we do.

    Hope is slim sure, especially looking through a Lense of our current understanding.
    My thought is if you have the expendable money (which already rules out a lot of people unfortunately) and you are not frozen until you actually are declared dead, you really have nothing to lose. You either just remain dead or you get revived at some point. Only downside is attempting to acclimate to whatever era you are brought into.
    Also fun tangent, lots of people bring up “what if you are brought back and the world is waring/diseased/collapsing” ie: ‘the world is not a good place to be’. I can’t help but think if it was really that bad, they wouldn’t bring you back

    I feel like even if you were frozen with Cryogenics, you wouldn't wake up how you would expect it.
    For all we know, their opinions on human rights could even be a lot different from now.
    They might throw us into a simulation, and make us replay our past lives over and over again to obtain information about the past. (I would hate it, but its still a possibility.)
    Or we might already be revived, and are recuperating in some kind of "Past Generator" that helps our brains recall our memories so we don't go into shock when our minds are revived.
    You know, I've had some vivid and short dreams of the future since I was young. I would have short visions then they would occur in real life out of nowhere.
    As if it was replaying something that had already happened. However, I usually immediately forget about these visions after waking up, and they only come back to me when I experience them in real life. It just clicks like: "Ah, this is that dream I had back then..."
    I've actually managed to make a few small changes, but the butterfly effect doesn't really do what we expect it to.
    Its like the past and future try to patch things together to conserve energy. The other dreams that I had before still pop up as well.
    If you're wondering, there isn't a set sequence in which these dreams happen. Dream 1 could happen after Dream 2, and vice versa.
    Still, these dreams happen anyway. Despite the small changes I make. Recently however, its become more difficult to make any changes.
    As if I were being monitored and forced to follow the timeline. By the time I remember something, its already happened, or I remember in that moment and end up following the set path anyway.
    I've also had moments where in those dreams I realize that its a future vision, and tell myself to try and change it.
    Like sitting down at a computer screen, then getting up as if someone was coming. Trying to open the door and catch them to prove the future.
    I proceed to then follow the dream exactly without a single change like I realize its that vision dream, and I get up from the computer thinking someone is coming and open the door.
    But no one comes. By the time all of this ends, I realize that I just followed some kind of set determined path despite realizing it was going to happen.
    Believe me or not about this, but I feel like I may not be the only person in this world this happens to.
    There must be something more than what we humans know about reality and how it works.
    Perhaps science is just a way of satisfying our doubts and preventing us from finding out the truth.
    Or maybe science is something that is built along the way, and appears out of thin air to fill in the holes that get left behind in our reality.
    Does anyone else happen to get the same kind of vision dreams by any chance?

      It would feel like an instant to you probably.
      I think your soul would be frozen in time trapped in the body, then instantly wake up when its revived.
      Souls don't have the concept of time. They are eternal, and travel through time freely at their own pace. Whether slow or fast.
      To our souls it would just be like blinking then opening their eyes.
      Think of it this way:
      When people talk about reincarnation after death, when does it happen?
      Instantly after death, or 100 years later? Even a 1000 years later? Like the reincarnation of Leonidas from the BC Greek Spartan ages.
      The soul doesn't really care about the concept of time most likely. I'm guessing it chooses what it wants to do on a whim, or when it feels right.
      The soul isn't really something we can grasp or even explain. When people talk about "Spiritual" things its usually something we cannot grasp with our human minds.
      We can only "Feel" and "Experience" it.
      Interesting question though. While my answer has a ton of holes, these are my thoughts.
      Still, there are plenty of times when people talk about reincarnation.
      While not proven true at all, there are some people who claim to have been "Reincarnated" like a grandson having memories of his grandfather's life despite never being told about them.

    Alor University (I think it called where Cryopreservation was started?) will have you in their experiment for "just" 28 grands in cash. That's a downpayment on a "mediocre" house and MUCH more reasonable to me. Beside since it's a university I feels "safer" knowing it's at least more "sensibly" legit than a random "cryopreservation business" that can charge upwards of 10 TIMES that amount.
