Heard about one guy who got cryogenically frozen for a thousand years and is best friends with a robot and is dating a one eyed sewer mutant so they don't all end badly.
He also did the nasty in the pasty
â@@angelface925That's got to suck being your own grandfather.
Don't ask about his dog though
Seymore!
That cheese pizza and large soda really helped him out
Imagine coming back to life after being frozen, only to find yourself rotting away as soon as you're revived
I think there was a sci-fi anthology show from the 2000's about a scientist who does that exact thing.
He gets fatally stabbed and uses his own tech, and has a ticking clock to figure out who killed him before he actually died.
It was the Other side, or something I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.
Something kind of similar happened to Emperor Palpatine in the EU, except it wasn't cryogenics. He kept cloning himself and transferring the essence but his soul was so wicked and dark that the new bodies would immediately start rotting away every time. It was a very unnatural technique and he was trying to cheat death to hold onto his power, but the Force itself was trying to reject this.
Funny enough I remember this happening on Mr. Meaty.
That is basically Lovecraft's cool air
That is disgusting! ðĪĒ
Ever freeze lettuce and try to thaw it out? Yeah, that's what happens to the body when frozen. Ice crystals are jagged and destroy cells.
Ice crystals are also bigger. Water expands by 10% ish when frozen which ruptures cells.
That's why they use cryopreservatives now. Vitrification in particular. By injecting thr body with anti-freeze right after death, they hope to reduce ice crystal formation to a manageable level in the future.
I wonder if someday we'll use gene editing to give humans genes that make cells crank out "anti-freeze" in response to extreme hypoxic conditions.
Iâve always wondered where people got the idea that their organs could survive deep freezing. Frost bite takes limbs.
@@AtlasReburdened tardigrades do that to a degree, but I donât know the mechanism at play
One of my sorority sisters was cryogenically frozen. She had terminal brain cancer and figured the worst case scenario was permanent death, which was a given anyway, but this way it wouldnât be terribly drawn out. Best case scenario, some sort of future technology somehow is able to save her and wake her up one day. I hope she still is in decent condition, but she acknowledged herself that it was a minuscule, albeit slightly less that zero, percent chance for the best.
I always think of her when I listen to this Modest Mouse song with the lyrics, âTime and life shook hands and said goodbye.â Her name was Kim Suozzi. I believe you can still find a mini documentary on her.
permanent death is the worst.
@@finished6267 whys that? better than permanent life, if you ask me.

I'm a mortician and everyone in my field find the entire cryogenic industry extremely disrespectful and horribly unregulated. They're selling false hope in a fancy coffin with an extremely high mark up. Death is scary, but we need to lift the social taboo on death to have real discussions on our after life planning.
Did you
Did you just make yourself an ad here
(J)
âlift the social taboo on deathâ yeah good luck on that
I'm a human and I find the entire mortician field extremely disrespectful and horribly unregulated, what a coincidence.
I'm pretty chill with being worm food , that being said if reanimation becomes an actual possibility and I'm toast at a reasonably young age sign me up.
@@heromedleyBurgerlander just now realizing that itâs mostly Westerners and colonized nations that view death as a taboo subject. ð
It might surprise you but plenty of other countries to this day and almost all pre-colonialist societies did not view death as a taboo like the US currently does. Whether itâs celebrating oneâs dead or parading them around in the streets, Iâve only ever heard stories from America or families traumatized and torn up with grief, resentment, etc. from being unable to be with a loved one while they were dying due to difficult taboo attitudes around death and how to approach it. This taboo of death and dying does so much more harm than good. It needs to be deconstructed.
Iâd encourage listening to the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast episode where he interviews Ask a Mortician and she goes into the history of embalming in the US and how our modern attitude towards death and dying as taboo is mostly due to a propaganda campaign from embalmers from around WW1 so they could continue to sell embalming services after the war.
Just cryogenically freeze me until cryogenic freezing is scientifically possible and then freeze me in that one
I heard rumors of a guy working on a mining crew who was meant to be cryogenically frozen for 18 months as punishment for violating the no pets policy. He woke up WAAAAY later than intended to learn that the entire crew had died, leaving him alone with the shipâs senile AI, a hologram of his supervisor, a descendant of his cat, and an android they had rescued.

@@HungerGamesFan88 Quantum Computers (and other quantum research), superconductors and magnets, and many advanced detectors (like those found in IR Astronomy equipment or used to monitor fibre optic equipment) need cooling varying from LN2 to close to absolute zero, either to operate at all or cut out the noise that comes with higher temperatures.
I actually like the idea that Frozen was made just to hide the myth
Makes sense too. Why else would they have chosen such an odd title? Especially since originally, Elsa was going to be the villain like the original Snow Queen in the book was (and the movie may have actually been decent with that instead of the lazy Hans asspull), so presumably there would've been no reason not to just call the movie The Snow Queen.
Same with Disney on Ice

There's a Golden Girls episode where Rose has to go under for surgery and dreams she, Dorothy, and Blanche have had their heads cryogenically frozen. As they're arguing, "heads" in trays of ice on their kitchen table, Sophia casually walks in with the body of a 20-year old. When they all ask her how in the hell she has a body she responds "you didn't tip the guy?"ðĪĢ
That poor goldfish!
My biggest fear is dying, unable to move, speak, all that, but somehow still being aware of what is going on around me and happening to my body. Being buried or cremated sound horrible, but getting shoved in a frozen tube for decades is what nightmares are made of
I fear the same thing. Granted being frozen is before death. You may just be sleeping for cyrogenics.
Yeah thatâs pretty much the worst imaginable scenario
That's called (except for the "being dead" part) locked-in syndrome. I heard an interview with a guy who was in this state for many years but eventually came out of it. He said the hospital staff just constantly put on Barney the Dinosaur videos and would then leave the room.
That's completely impossible because there is no brain activity in cryostasis. Even just above freezing, neurons can't communicate.
@@PDFsArentPpl being frozen is done after death, otherwise it would be murder
Having a holiday where a town of people come to celebrate because of you feels like a better kind of preservation than being frozen forever.
Ah, the Epic of Gilgamesh. I love that story's moral.
So true. Hope it remains a custom. Even after his son is no longer around to keep him frozen.
Yeah but people dont think like that i guess. People hate the feeling of being left out. Being frozen is so that you can be thawed and rejoin society. Freezing is not about being Remembered or even Loved. Its about surviving longer than you are meant to
â@@RB-yt6rx How long are people "meant" to survive?
@@517342This is possibly the fullest circle that humanity has ever went
The amount of preservation ice is capable of is incredible. Even more so for animals that are capable of surviving being frozen like wood frogs unlike that unfortunate goldfish
That goldfish had a hell of a âstayin aliveâ party for 3 days though. You say unfortunate, I say blessed.
too cold and you damage cells but ride that line and don't let the damage happen to the inside of the lungs(frozen lake survivors don't inhale) the other half is re-warming if done too quickly you throw off the process and the patient will die
@Aaron-zu3xn
Theres a frog common in Canada, its range is pretty north that can freeze every winter and unfreeze in spring and be fine. Its called "Wood Frog".
It survives by building up urea and glucose in its cells and tissues. It can survive 75% of all of the cells in its body frozen solid for months. Theres also a Japanese frog that does a similar trick that can survive even colder temps. One experiment, a Japanese frog survived -30° F(not C) for 6 months.
But those are some of the few species that can.
@CantTellYou The poor fish may very well have been suffering in pain that whole time, though.
some dr is trying to do a full head transplant..lets see how that goes first
I remember my dad telling me a story about my Grandfather, and how when he was a kid, his family would sometimes spend the winter at a farm in Alberta, Canada owned by my Grandpas Uncle, Jack. Anyways, the winters up their were brutal. They would have a rope running from the house to the barn so that you didn't get lost in the 3-foot visibility caused by the snow. One fateful winter, uncle jack would pass away. Now you can't exactly dig a six-foot deep hole in the rock solid, snow covered ground in the middle of January. So they wrapped him up in a old carpet, and stuck him in the hay loft in the barn, where he lay frozen until spring, when they buried him at the family cemetery, where he lies to this day. I have heard that this was pretty common back in the day for anyone who died in the winter in Alberta or any other place of a similarly northern latitude. RIP Great-Great Uncle Jack.
Alberta is beautiful!
Actual mortuary care is all about dignity and respect. They care for the surviving loved ones in their worst days and allow them to see their dead one last time. The dead are at their most vulnerable, yet are treated with the most respect.
There is nothing more undignified or terrible than stuff like this
From my experience, mortuary care is no different than a shift at McDonalds in the graveyard shift with someone's phone is blasting music near the kitchen sink and some of the crew is drunk others are stoned and the rest are both.

I'm a butcher-food scientist by trade, sometimes we handle product that has been frozen to some pretty extreme temps below 0 way below 0 and have worked in blast freezers that will could kill you in 15 minutes or less if your not wearing proper clothes and one of the worst burns I've ever had came not from a fire but from a box that had been inside a ice cream freezer directly under the fans. I touched the box for maybe 7-9 seconds and felt pain all the way to the bone and a few days later all the skin died there turned all scaley and eventually fell off.
I was waiting to find a comment like this. Here's the comment. I'm screaming inside my mind. I get nerve pain that burns the inside of my body. THIS? THIS?! No thank you, no thaaank you.
@@jamie1602 ? I had second degree burns on my face from a bust hot water hose, 1 partial amputation and 1 total amputation and got it sewn back on that the pain was constant but not like insane pain but when I touched that box I had never felt a pain like that in my life and that was even thru a cotton glove. It was like a impossibility that something could hurt that bad.

You can throw flies in the refrigerator and they will go into hibernation until you warm them up. I used to find "dead" flies at work in the coolers only to warm them up in my hands and watch them fly away about half an hour later. A handful of other animals have built in "anti-freeze" too, like some frogs and a species of caterpillar.
Refrigeration is a lot different from freezing. Water expands when it freezes, often rupturing cells.
@@Dudemon-1 Read the rest of the comment.
@@Em0tionL0rd -- Fair enough. I thought your "too" about anti-freeze meant you were listing additional *types* of creatures, not "in addition to refrigeratoon".

@@inyahuahitrustmd9114 No shit sherlock, actually read my comment.
This confuses me. Doesn't the whole idea of cryo-stasis hinge on the idea of being frozen while still alive, in order to be revived when a cure for your ailment is found? What does freezing after death accomplish?
The plan is, allegedly, to keep you fresh until a means to revive the dead is found.
Presumably, a means to repair your Ice Damage would also be needed.
Many ppl belive that our 'consciousness' and self is stored in our brain, and therefore if you could theoretically get the neurons firing in our brains again after death (and either being stuck in a glass tube, robo body, or had ur body frozen before the cells decomposed, or had ur cells regrown somehow) will result in you coming back like waking from a coma.
But since we can't even transplant heads between humans yet, it's still far into Sci fi territory and dependent on not finding out that it's impossible bc of (insert future discovery here)

A friend of mine had a goldfish when his area was left without power for 3 weeks in the deep of winter -- the ice storm that hit Eastern Canada in 1998. When he returned he assumed that the goldfish was dead, but once the water was warmed up sufficiently the goldfish came back to life, doing goldfish things. 6 months later he gave the goldfish to another friend who overfed it, and it died.

A really bizarre problem that's just occurred to me is that even if you get reanimated in your own body with your own brain, because all electrical activity in the brain ceased it could be argued that the 'you' that wakes up would actually be a copy as it's functionally a new consciousness created from your memories, like the brain scan problem but with meat instead of circuits
Exactly even if whatever killed you has a cure found your entire body's cells have likely also all died before you'd get frozen. Then there's the other damage besides your primary cause of death that would need undone. Which even a cure designed for a living being to stop whatever ailment wouldn't undo previous damage. Damage which was already enough to cause death.
The new 'you' is just as much you as if you had surgery with an an anesthetic.
@@RS-bx7vj I mean anesthetic doesn't cause brain death, there's definitely still loads of electrical activity during surgery you're just unconscious
Technically you can make that argument every time you go to sleep. Your consciousness ceased, for a time - so how do you know it's the same consciousness that came back? How do you know you're the same person who went to sleep?
You don't. You never know. You just have to believe it is.
It's the same brain, the same body, the same experiences. To me, that means it's the same person.
@@LordofFullmetal Although I do think there is a certain degree of consciousness reset with sleep, brain activity doesn't cease or you'd become fully braindead every time you went to bed. This I think is the main issue, total cessation of brain activity is fundamentally lethal, even if we managed to invent technology that allows the brain to be restarted, there's a very high chance that the current version of your consciousness would not have any continuity into the reanimated one, even if the new version still has all of your memories (which also isn't a guarantee, the total loss of electrical activity may result in them being lost or heavily degraded)
I absolutely do fully agree with your sentiment that we have no way of knowing that we're the same people as we were yesterday though, that's kind of part of the reason I don't really see the point in cryopreservation as a means to try to attain immortality; the stakes lose all their meaning when viewing it from that perspective. Even if I were to do it, and I had an alternate version of me in the far-off future (or maybe even me myself if it does turn out I continue fully), every person and experience that defines who I am will have lived and died potentially hundreds of years ago, which just feels incredibly heartbreaking

A uk scientist, James lovelock, froze hamsters then revived them with microwaves back in the 50s. I think they perfected the resurrection eventually but a lot of the hamsters got burns from heating elements. They scaled it up but it wouldn't work on bigger creatures likely because of the depth the microwaves need to penetrate and the varying speeds of thawing as a result. Hamsters just happened to be the perfect size.
The microwaves actually led to fewer burns! They were already reviving the hamsters before they invented the microwave heater, they were just using heated metal tools to quickly defrost them, and _that_ led to a lot of burns. The microwaves were able to penetrate more quickly and evenly so less direct heat, less burns, happier revived hamsters.
@@titaniumvulpes Then Richard Gere volunteered to use his own body heat to revive the frozen hamsters.

I find cryogenics and the people who believe in it to be fascinating. If anybody is interested thereâs a really great hour-long video by Atrocity Guide called âItâs Embarrassing to Die: An Immortalist Storyâ that covers the history of cryogenics as well as other topics related to people wanting/trying to live forever.
Cool, I'm looking it up
It's not really that complicated to understand. If you have the spare money, there's not really much reason not to try, doesn't matter if it's a 5%, 1% chance. Nobody knows what the chances are. They're definitely not 0% because we know there are animals that do this in the wild successfully. How much above zero %... who knows. You can't take the money with you, though.

@@fairygrl999 Yeah. The whole thing is just illogical.
So there was once an owner of a website dedicated to a kind of obscure game series who unfortunately passed away and her head was frozen by Alcor. I made the mistake of reading the case report Alcor wrote. These people have terrible protocols. Even if cryonics could work there's no way it wasn't too late to meaningfully preserve her brain. The whole report felt like one series of fuckups after another, as well as an experimental desecration of her corpse more than anything actually professional. It utterly destroyed any hope I had in cryonics being possible for humans, at least within this century. If the company can't even keep someone's brain reasonably intact on a macroscopic level long enough to get it into cold storage, what's the point of being frozen at all? Just a waste of electricity...

@@airysquared ooh it spawned an anime too!
â@@airysquared are you talking about Monster Rancher Metropolis? Poor Lisa. :(
I always looked at cryogenics as a gamble:
You die and get frozen, and either the technology to revive you will become available in the future, or it won't and you simply stay dead, thus loosing nothing. The alternative is getting buried/cremated and leaving behind nothing that could potentially be revived.
So it's a miniscule chance for life in the future, versus a guarantee of being gone forever. If I had the money, I would gladly take this gamble. Besides, the kind of technology required to revive someone is basicly molecular/cellular level repair, which could also make you virtually immortal.
I agree. Also, I'm sure you can afford it. Alcor has the most advanced and comprehensive plans, but there are cheaper options. The Cryonics Institute charges $30,000 for whole-body vitrification, and Oregon Brain Preservation charges $8,000 for brain-only freezing. Almost everyone pays with life insurance, though, which can make even Alcor's $80,000 for head-only or $200,000 for whole-body affordable.
It is frustrating having to explain a possition to extremely religious people. There are people talking all through this comment thread about there experience with freezing. Thing is, that isn't cryogenically freezing. My fiance and myself intend to be cryogenically frozen on our deaths as well. The difference is that we don't intend to be revived. We intend to be brought back as a program. In this way, we hope to have our brains brought back to a form of conciousness. We don't care that the odds are extremely low, but it is much higher than relying on religion. Is it so crazy to be revived as a program? I would quite like to see the future, I don't think I will make it there via normal means developed in my life. Though the first functionally immortal person is said to already be born. Whatever your intentions, good luck.
For my part, my brain is already part machine. Rare form of brain tumor that wasn't cancerous...but still took up a huge amount of my brain requiring a pump. I have nothing to lose relying on cryonics.
Growing up my parents had a small man made Pond with several fish. Every winter they would freeze solid entirely and you could even see them solid in the ice but every summer it would thaw and the fish was fine. I think it depends greatly on the speed in which it freezes and defrosts. Idk I'm not a doc but those fish lived years like that.
How deep was it and how deep was the ice. Most body's of water don't actually freeze and there is a part that is liquid where they could live. Most times only 1 to 3 ft freeze if deeper they might if been fine.
If they were in the ice and frozen that's not possible, usually ponds don't freeze over down until the bottom though
@@glitches911 sorry but that's just not possible, feel free to look it up. They can survive below the ice, in oxygen deprived water for the winter, if the fish freezes it's dead though. Cells don't survive that you know, even if the fish did (which it does not)
â@glitches911 No one is "gas lighting" you. Fish stay in water that's under the ice. If they freeze in ice, they die.
@@glitches911 brother, are you a flat earther or something..? You can not just say I am gaslighting you because you do not agree with scientific facts. I'm just telling you they cannot have been physically frozen without dying. Many animals can turn down their metabolism for example to get through times where nutrition and generally energy are hard to come by. I'm sure the fish had barely any oxygen or food and that they most likely barely moved at all under the ice. They cannot have been in the ice, that's all
It's interesting to think that from the perspective of the frozen people, they already know what happens. They've either been revived, or died. So it's not really them waiting to be revived, but everyone else waiting to see if or when we can revive them
I mean, only if you assume there's some kind of afterlife. If their consciousness just ceases to exist upon death, and they're never somehow revived, then they're never going to know one way or another, because they're, you know, dead...
@vanessaashford9203 Yea, I think what I said applies afterlife or not. As soon as they die, they will stay dead unless revived. Like how it's said innocent until proven guilty. So unless they are revived, they would just assume they will still be dead, if they are even thinking about that before they die.
Water expands when you freeze it. The human body is like 60-70% water. Maybe now you understand why there's cracks and fractures in it. Honestly, if we ever were going to "freeze" a body, I think we'd have to freeze it in a liquid stasis, of some sort. By that I mean, keeping it cold without it actually freezing solid. The trouble with that is, the reason why we freeze it solid in the first place is because stuff doesn't decompose because all the water is effectively gone, since it's ice. The reason why mummies are preserved so well is because they've been desiccated so well there's nothing left to really rot from it. So the conundrum is how do you keep something so cold it _can't_ rot, while also not freezing it solid and destroying every cell? Some animals like frogs and bugs seem to be able to do this, but they have some anti-freeze like substance in their bodies.
Death is scary but becoming soup in a can is worse than terrifying.
Apparently the earliest application of a traditional microwave oven (not the discovery story with the guy who had a chocolate bar in his pocket), was to unfreeze frozen hamsters to rehabilitate them, and it *worked*. That said the experiment concluded that this couldn't be ramped up for larger creatures, including humans, iirc it had to do with the scale of cell structure between smaller and larger organisms (as cells tend to burst when frozen).
I saw that hamster ðđ microwave device that actually worked and it's fascinating how that stuff actually worked
I get the distinct impression that it didn't work
We do not freeze people lmao, they are preserved using special fluid being pumped in their cells and therefore no ice crystals are formed, this method was first utilized in the year 2000.
@@Danuxsy I'm not talking about how these companies do it, I'm simply saying these experiments with the microwaves and hamsters were done in part to explore if this could be "scaled up", not as a preservation technique, but in a medical or rehabilitation technique for those who reach dangerously low temperatures like frostbite or worse. They concluded that due to cell damage for creatures larger than a small rodent this would not work.
That said, even in Alcor they haven't actually shown what the effects on tissues if thawed to see what the aftermath is, and I suspect that is because achieving a 100% substitution of water in every cell is difficult, and that ignores the process of reintroducing the water BACK into the cells during the thaw process.
@@redroachofficial7388 Shockingly it worked really well. According to the data "almost all subjects were successfully reanimated" after being frozen solid. A key detail is that this wasn't actually like your microwave at home it was precisely calibrated, and to reiterate the test subjects were specifically hamsters, but yeah they would wake up and live the rest of their retired lives relatively normally for a hamster that was frozen solid.

I recommend the "Bobiverse" series of novels. It's about a guy killed in a random car accident, is cryogenically frozen, then thawed out and forced into servitude as a digital replicant who controls a self replicating VonNuemann space probe. It's a great series
I'm the Medical Sergeant for a SAR & Disaster Response. It's absolutely incredible how many times we've found humans and animals frozen (and we thought) to death. Only to find signs of life barely able to register on both our personal equipment or the higher level machines to register as they thaw.

The technology required to adequately preserve a body or even just a brain would probably be so advanced that they'd probably just be able to cure whatever medical issue the person had to begin with.
You only get cryonics to avoid incurable disease, you obviously wouldn't get frozen if you could get cured, your comment is stating the obvious lol
I read a Scientific American article back in the early 2000s that said that the natural "antifreeze" in the blood and body fluids of tiny things like insects, but up to fairly large amphibians would be the way to proceed. The idea being that simply freezing, even with liquid nitrogen, is still so uneven that significant portions of the body freeze at the temperature of scarcely below 32F. That results in ice crystal formation in each individual cell, that causes the cell to rupture as it freezes. Everybody has known of this consequence since day one. And part of the technology that would be needed to revive such frozen bodies would be figuring out how to repair all of that cellular damage.
But the antifreeze in certain animal bodies which allows like frogs to freeze solid at the bottom of a lake, literally in suspended animation, keeps them ice crystals from forming and instead of freezing, the frog body undergoes "vitrification". It essentially turns into a piece of glass. The same "antifreeze" (I forget what it was called) then allows normal thawing to take place and the cells are completely undamaged and the frog can then go about its business.
The idea being to derive such a substance that could be infused, embalming style into a human body and thus preclude freezing damage. There might be a bit more delay, but apart from the potential of autolysis, (cells eating their ownselves after death--you got about a few minutes, maybe, from the cessation of vascular circulation, so I'm not sure how you rocket that liquid into the body. Under normal circumstances of life, blood completely circulates the body in about 40 seconds) the cells would then be in a state of perfect pristine anatomical preservation. And yes, they knew about the autolysis issue from day one as well. Then you can put them bodies in the liquid nitrogen tank. I mostly forgot about that article until I saw this video just now. I have no idea if anything came of this research. Or if anything has ever been derived/developed. But as demonstrated by nature, the concept certainly seems sound.
Cryogenics has always been a very interesting sci-fi subject, not surprising we're no where near that future though, there's so many systems that are important for life that re-starting them all is, right now, just unthinkable.

I think I would lose my mind.
But this technology is so far from real that we havenât even begun to question about what happens after we revive these people. I doubt they would be functioning members of society without a lot of time and care.
In the mid 2010s people thought path tracing for video games were decades away and now we can run path tracing in real-time already. You do not know how far away we are from cryonics being viable, it could be a century, it could also be by next decade.
If I ever get cryogenically frozen I want to do it in a convenience store freezer, that way I can get Moonpies when I thaw out
In high school in like 2004 i did a debate in speech class about cryogenic freezing of people. I was "for" the process and i remember researching Alcor at the time. Crazy to hear about them 20 years later!
The joke is, Disney wasnât frozen, the put him in suspended animation. (The amount of people you have to explain this joke to is astounding)

For a guy whose last name is hope, that one guy sure didn't have much of it when running his cryogenics business.
13:43 He had every opportunity to call it âItâs Not Easy Being Freezyâ but he missed it!
Freezing someone solid would not be the way to go anyway.
We might be able to achieve some form of suspended animation, by keeping someone at .001 above freezing. The expansion of many substances by a hard freeze just does too much damage.
The fact that there are creatures that can survive freezing shows the idea at least on paper has merit. Now as to the practical reality of freezing something as complex as a human? Most probably not, but then we also live in an age of technology that 100 years ago would be basically considered magic.
Interesting fact about goldfish the colder the temperature the longer they will survive without food. Also they can live up to 25 years and they can grow absolutely giant all it depends on is how mcuh food they are given.

This video brings up a weird childhood memory. My uncle used to own a gas station in 1996 when I was 11 and I would sometimes hang out in the front office when my dad was there helping out. He had this little old black and white TV with rabbit ears on the desk, that would only pick up like one channel. One afternoon I was sitting there and there just happened to be this random news magazine show on where they were talking all about cryogenics and freezing dead celebrities. I think they may have talked about that Deblasio guy. I found it creepy. What a weird random moment.
It was science fiction author Poul Anderson who used the word corpesicle for the people cryogenically frozen. He wrote an intriguing story set in the future, where the money to maintain the corpesicles has run out, and transplant medicine has greatly advanced . . .

@@nestharus An 'empty brain' = dead.
Yes it would be horrifying bc you can rest assured all these frozen bodies have humongous damage, not only fractures, but cellular and chemical decomposition.
But, they are all dead, so they wont feel anything anymore.
if they try to thaw out a body without having perfected the kinks to that extent, I doubt the person being thawed would be alive or conscious to experience pain
I'm now remembering the episode of the golden girls where one of them imagines they've had their cryogenically preserved heads thawed out only to end up as talking heads on platters, when Sophia walks in with her new, young body and old head. ðĪĢ
Neuropreservation reminds me of the horrors in That Hiddeous Strength by C.S. Lewis. They preserved a guy's severed head and kept it alive by connecting it to tubes and wires (only for it to be posessed by "Macrobes", i.e. demons)
I've always wondered if cryogenics would be a good idea to sign up for, it could be possible you wake up in the future and have a weird extended life or it could be horrible. Like what if you wake waaay too far in future and humans look slightly off because of evolution or you turn out to be a freak of nature in a cyborg body.

I dont know who would want that for themselves and their family. I'd rather be let to rot under the ground.
I did that with goldfish when I was working at a pet store and we had hundreds of cheap feeder fish. I froze them but some of the water still needed to be liquid in the middle of the water cup for them to reliably be revived. This made sense to me since they can survive winters with their pond freezing, but not if it freezes completely.
ish hibernate on the lower level of the pond in winter, the decay on the floor of the pond acts as an incubator.
The founder of ALCOR may have murdered his mother for his work. Thatâs a wild story in and of itself.
Saul Kent was not the founder of Alcor (that was Fred Chamberlain III along with his wife Linda), and Saul had his mother cryopreserved immediately after her clinical death from old age. He didn't do it "for his work" (what do you even mean by that?). He did it because his mother was dying and he loved her and wanted to see her again. He entered cryostasis this year.

Excellent video! I've had an interest in cryonics since ... well, since hearing about in the early '70's, & I can remember the Chatsworth scandal well. After all these years of following the subject, I still am not sure if it will ever be practical, or even possible for that matter, but the topic continues to fascinate me. BTW, according to Robert Nelson, Walt Disney's people DID reach out to the California Cryonics society looking for more information, but they weren't ready to preform the procedure yet, & later wound up going with Robert Bedford instead. Thus the legend was born.

In the graphic novel Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson they have an interesting spin on chryonics. The story is set far in the future and reviving frozen people is trivial. The problem is that the it turns out the human mind is incapable of handling the shock of returning to world that is unlike anything they have experienced.
Sounds like a pretty stupid premise considering we have had people who lived all their life in tribes that were stuck in time, and these tribesmen escaped and went to modern cities and adapted relatively quickly.

Growing up I was always terrified of the concept of cryogenics because of the Carbon-Freezing scene in Star Wars. The concept of being frozen, alive or dead, especially against your will was genuinely traumatizing to me. And don't even get me started on the Magic School Bus space episode.

In Spain, the Walt Disney being frozen myth became so strong, it ended up becoming one of his main traits and ending up in so many pop culture jokes and staples, especially during the 1990s.
It is similar in America. I don't think most actually believe the story to be true but they still make jokes and references. There's an episode of Batman: The Animated Series that has a theme park owner similar to Disney that hires Mr. Freeze to give him the same immortality that Mr. Freeze has.

Cryogenics is so hard because of the frozen blood problem. If not heated correctly, blood will thaw unevenly and ice crystals will destroy blood vessels.
That's a hard problem for today but will be trivial to fix centuries from now. Also, modern cryopreservation uses vitrification.

I have had fish freeze and unfreeze in my pond fine. The most crazy one is with frogs and toads, you can find footage of it online they allow themselves to essentially freeze.
But their physiology is way different to ours. I knew frogs did this but the idea of fish casually doing it is crazy!
idk why but i could listen to u talk about cryogenics for hours
When lakes/ponds freeze, the fish go to the deepest parts of the water and "rest". This rest is when their heart rate slows down, the need for food (and most importantly oxygen) decreases. Basically metabolic functions slow down significantly. But this process isn't permanent and fish still need that water around them (they are still getting oxygen just less so and even in frozen lakes there is still water). A similar process works for amphibians and reptiles who go into a state of hibernation.
Tardigrades, Wooly Bear larvae (it's a caterpillar), and some beetles are all pretty good at surviving icy temperatures.
Wood frogs are stellar at this, they don't have a heartbeat or even need to breath when frozen. eventually they thaw and walk it off. It's a preservation that a lot of cryogenic facilities strive for. All the preservation without the debilitating and irreversible damage caused by the freezing process.
RIP that one guys fish.
