Understanding: Cryogenics

[JessePeets]

Aren't you supposed to freeze you'r self when you're alive to slow down the functions of you'r cells. Re-animation without memory loss is impossible. You'r brain's function is kept intact by those little electronic signals running throughout the nerves in the brain. It's fine if they slow down, but if you'r nerves get damaged than the signal being sent through it is lost with it. They have done this with a rabbits brain too. There was still brain activity a while into testing. It's cool stuff!

I'm gonna burn myself so I can see the past haha.

[beinganangeltreon]

Honk if cryogenics gives you erect nipples

[theyellow240z]

I've about memorized the nascar ad. It's so fuckin annoying.

[spencertron88]

why don't they put them in something that would keep them dry? It's just like if you lose a finger. First, if you can find the finger, your not supposed to merely pack it in ice, you wash it, dry it, pad it up with gauze, put that in a bag, and put THAT in another bag of ice. Why? It keeps it dry. Why can't they keep a body dry at a fraction of a kelvin?

Also Nanotechnology is not magic. It is has been explained in the materials science as magical in its properties but that just means that scientists are amazed at what can be done. Many things once though of as impossible are routinely possible through todays crude nanotechnology. The futures nanotechnology will be many many times more powerful but not magical. It will just seem that way to a novice or untrained observer. Natural Nanotech exists in all living cells and is what make life possible

[DK0526]

The video is wrong from the start cryogenics is totally different then cryonics. If you do a internet search of molecular nanotechnology or go to Alcor or the Cryonics Institutes web sites and look up just how people will probly be revived in the future....If you found this tid bit interesting you will find that information truly amazing and incredible. Cryonics is an ambulence to the future using cold. Cryogenics is a manufacturing process using cold. Cryo means extreme cold.

[DK0526]

look up cryonics for more information...

If anyone is interested have used, but never used, QTY (8) Sumitomo Cryogenic Cleaning units for sale.

If interested leave PM - thanks.

Location of units: Florida.

This is the information revolution as well. Technology is improving in rapid speed. Even every year there are new things that easily out do anything the year before. As with Cryogenics; however; the new technologies to bring back patients would be a reality that is foreseeable in probably only 75-100 years.

Building a robot to house a human brain as well would be cool though :)

[7heAre7s]

Many people today say Cryogenics is bullshit, but say to someone 100 years ago if it was possible to contact someone from across the world in seconds using a little device, or the fact that the medicines today that medical guys then wouldn't have thought of even happening (antibiotics, all that stuff). Probably in another 100 years, a guy would say something like what I have just said, but on a bigger scale that we would not understand, just like my example.

@7heAre7s

Well let me tell you a story. I was never frozen, but I worked in a cryogenic environment. For over four years I worked in a factory that used Liquid Nitrogen--the same cold vapour that scientists use to freeze bodies. After awhile, you become accustomed to the cold. 4 years on, I am 35 years old. I don't look at day passed 24. And my complexion is very pale, but youthful.

[7heAre7s]

@pluto4847 better than these anti aging products today then eh? :) I was just saying that people should not pre-determine something will not be a success. I'm going to give cryogenics a chance at least, when i get the chance of course.

[pluto4847]

@7heAre7s

Well of course. As I said before, I was not cryogenicized, but I worked in a sister company from Holland that worked in cryogenics. You'd be surprised what uses cryogenics are put to use in.

Ever wonder when you go to the supermarket and buy fresh meat? Well those food products are cryogenicized to perserve the freshness. I look quite young. I am 35 and I still get carded when I buy drinks.

[pluto4847]

@7heAre7s

The sad part is that I no longer work in cryogenics. I hope I don't start developing wrinkles, lose my hair, or go grey. But we all age. I liked working in cryogenics (not with bodies) but with food products. But the job I had was stressful. I was on my feet 12 hrs a day seven days a week. It has caused more mental stress than physical stress. So really think about how long you want to work before getting into it. I had no social life.

[pluto4847]

@7heAre7s

When I worked in the Cryo freeze, I had no time for my wife or family. I missed out on a lot of free time. But I got to travel a lot to Holland, the UK, France, and Germany. The job kept me youthful, in appearance, but exhausted in the mind. Now that I am back in the USA, I want just an ordinary 40 hr a week job, or even start my own business.

[SaturnFX]

advanced nanotech will be able to repair/replace the cells.

Its useless to get a full body frozen however, the brain is the only real factor here..the rest can be recreated through genetic cloning and simply transplant the brain into a brand new body. Give it a couple hundred years and this will be not only done, but perhaps even outdated technology.

[PCXPBOY]

sorry but i laugh at how people think this is the easiest way to the future, i guess this is caused by worldwide greed for future technology, as well as health, if you smoked for 20 years you can expect throat, lung, and mouth cancer, if you did get it, would you expect scientists to want to revive you in the future even though you contributed nothing to the world? Also i believe that nuclear war or natural disasters pose a threat and will likely destroy the bodies before they are recovered.

[hitsugayaisahottie]

who is god?

[auzziman911]

@hitsugayaisahottie that would be me

[Danny123456789009876]

If....and I do state IF... this does work, the new life scientists will supposedly "create" will be someone else's and NOT the person who donated their deceased body to the cause. They are dead, too late for them. They might as well throw my tax dollars in the there as well.

[viktorj85]

Why does youtube make me wtatch commercials now?

[Offlinedream]

@viktorj85 Refresh the web page and you'll get the vid without a commercial. Thats what I do.

[jasonlevin8]

@viktorj85 everyone hates the commercials, but how do you expect google to get their 1.65billion dollars back. theyre not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, and are still in the hole with youtube.

[danielodors]

@viktorj85 - Actually, YouTube doesn't make you, the video up-loader does. They earn cash from the commercials. The only ads YouTube makes you see are the ones on the home page and the ones on the upper right hand corner, which are well out of the way. You can make original content and earn money yourself by uploading videos and letting YouTube put commercials in the beginning. IDK where you got the silly idea that YouTube was forcing these commercials.

@ freshprincejordan

If you want to see God so badly, then do not go to the hospital if you have a heart attack or become critically ill. But, I bet its the 1st place you call!

[viktorj85]

lol gotta love the people who after have life saving surgery, thank god that they are still alive instead of the surgeons. err o_0

[sebbrown1]

Some ones been watching too much Sci-Fi.

[freshprincejordan]

i bet u guys like in 60 or 90's ha !

[freshprincejordan]

walking dead !

[freshprincejordan]

u cant play with god .......only god gives live and only god can take it a way ...

[cnbn9]

I'm almost certain people can create life, keep your religious garbage out of science.

[TheOriginalHamster]

if god existed that is

[DK0526]

God may have given us the ability and brains to cryogenically freeze and save people from death...who are you to second guess god...and throw away his gift of life..Maybe God wants us to try and live and to avoid cryonics now that you know of it is like commiting suicide the ulimate last sin and slap in the face to god. God may have given us medicine that keeps us from death and jesus was a healer and raiser of the dead the bible says follow my example...so I think god would aprove of cryonics

[viktorj85]

If I kill someone I am god?

[ifree0885654]

interesting, but i've got to agree w/ Surreall, *way* too short. The only thing I've learned is that it's possible to freeze your corpse, but likely impossible to ever thaw it out usefully.

[SurreallTV]

i need to hear more about the topic....this was Too short..

(still...thanx for da vid)

[DK0526]

do a internet search of molecular nanotechnology or go to Alcor or the Cryonics Institutes web sites and look up just how people will probly be revived in the future....If you found this tid bit interesting you will find that information truly amazing and incredible...
