Just recently, the son of Baseball great Ted Williams had his deceased father "frozen" in expectation of a future revival. At a cost of $120,000, one could have "whold-body freeze"; or for the cheap a "head freeze" for $50,000.
Here’s how the procedure is done:
After a declaration of death, the body is put on a heart-lung machine for transfer to the freezing facility. The body is cooled in an ice bath, the blood is replaced with a preservative solution, and as much water as possible is drawn out from the remains — so as to avoid cellular damage from ice crystals.
Then the body (or just the head) is cooled to around 320 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, using a liquid-nitrogen cryogenic system, and stored in a vacuum chamber until scientists figure out how to revive the body and repair the damage. (The longer you wait to start the process, the higher the chance of cell damage.)
Now my question...Is there any chance at all that this could work?
It is expected that scientists will develop nanoscale robots that could course through the bloodstream, repairing the cellular damage caused by post-death deterioration and the freezing process.
Eventually, the fantasy world of the widely known Terminator movie series, will come true. We [those who "freeze" themselves] will become no longer of human origin, but created of silicone internals. Our soul (for those who believe in God) will have already left the body, and our bloodstream full of "nanocsale robots". It seems to me that scientists seem to play the role of God fairly well, or so it seems.
It is hoped that in the future, a patient will be able to be revived for as little as $3.
