(from greek κρύος / kryos meaning ‘cold’)
.
-‘cryonics’ is the ‘low-temperature preservation’ of ‘humans’ + ‘animals’ that can no longer be ‘sustained’ by ‘contemporary medicine’ until ‘resuscitation’ may be possible in the ‘future’-
.
(currently, ‘human cryopreservation’ is not reversible, which means that it is not currently possible to bring people out of ‘cryopreservation’ alive)
(has anyone (ever actually) made any serious attempt?)
(if so, how many times?)
(and with how many different ‘methods’?)
(would attempting it on a currently ‘frozen person’ potentially sabotage the purpose of ”future revival”?)
(and how would we know?)
(via ‘extrapolation’?)
(ask ‘ray kurzweil’)
(because if so, it’d probably be a violation of the ‘contract’ between the ‘cryopreservation provider’ and ‘client’)
(unless said ‘client’ gives consent for ‘cryopreservation provider’ to attempt ‘resuscitation’ to some degree in exchange for ‘reduced price’)
(would ‘age’ / ‘health’ be significant factors in the probability of ‘revival’?)
(how much variation
(how many ‘cryopreservation providers’ exist?)
(what is the range of prices?)
(what kind of profits do these ‘providers’ make?)
(i’more’ or ‘less’ profitable over time as humans get ‘more’ / ‘less’ disillusioned (/ ‘hopeful’) with probability of ‘future resuscitation’???)
(the rationale for ‘cryonics’ is that people who are considered ‘dead’ by the current ‘legal’ or ‘medical’ definitions will not necessarily be ‘dead’ by future standards – the most stringent ‘standard’ being the “information-theoretic” definition of ‘death’ – and that such people could be brought out of ‘cryopreservation’ in the ‘future’)
.
*”cryonics” is the low-temperature preservation (usually at −196°C) of people who cannot be sustained by ‘contemporary medicine’, with the hope that ‘resuscitation’ and ‘restoration’ to ‘full health’ may be possible in the ‘far future’*
.
(‘cryopreservation’ of humans is not ‘reversible’ with present technology; ‘cryonicists’ hope that medical advances will someday allow ‘cryopreserved people’ to be ‘revived’)
(‘cryonics’ is regarded with ‘skepticism’ within the ‘mainstream scientific community’ and is not part of ‘normal medical practice’)
(it is not known if it will ever be possible to ‘revive’ a ‘cryopreserved human being’)
(‘cryonics’ depends on beliefs that the ‘cryonics patient’ has not experienced ‘information-theoretic death’)
(such views are at the ‘speculative edge’ of ‘medicine’)
(‘cryonics procedures’ can only begin after ‘legal death’, and cryonics “patients” are considered ‘legally dead’)
(‘cryonics procedures’ ideally begin within minutes of ‘legal death’, and use ‘cryoprotectants’ to prevent ice formation during ‘cryopreservation’)
(the first corpse to be ‘cryopreserved’ was that of ‘doctor james bedford’ in 1967)
.
(as of ‘2014’, about 250 bodies were cryopreserved in the ‘united states’, and 1,500 people had made arrangements for ‘cryopreservation’ after their ‘legal death’)
.
(that seems like an awfully small #!)
