Cryogenic freezing is a technique used to store a person’s body at an extremely low temperature with the hope of one day reviving it. If someone has died from a disease or condition that is currently incurable, they can be “frozen” and then revived in the future when a cure has been discovered. This technique is already being performed today, but the technology behind it is still in its infancy.
The idea of preserving a person’s body at very low temperatures in the hope that it will be restored by future medical technology has been a staple of science fiction. But could cryonics be a genuine way of being brought back to life years into the future?

One reply on “Cryogenic Freezing”
According to the video, how is the cryonic process performed?
Is necessary to low the body´s temperature until -196º. This is the temperature we have to reach to freeze our body or brain.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of cryogenic freezing?
It is not an advantage. It’s a hope really.
People are hoping to find the solution to a health problem which has not been remedy nowadays But Nobody has been able to life after being frozen.
How do you feel about cryogenic freezing?
I think similar to others scientifics advances. The problem is not in the cryogenic, the problem is the use we could do for it and the social gap between wealthy people and the rest os the society.
If everybody would be cryogenized, the world would need space for all. A problem os overpopulation.
Would you undergo such process in the hope of finding a cure to your incurable disease?
If we reach to live in a world where the cryogenisation is a method completely saved … why not?
