Immortality through Cryonics?



A cadaver’s usual destination is either be rotten inside of a casket or be pulverized after cremation. Now, there’s a third choice---they can be lodged inside a deep freezing canister and wait for a possible life after death.

Scientists have great faith that future technological innovation in preserving corpses through cryonics can restore health, youth, and life. With a remarkable progress in medicine and molecular repair system, cellular deterioration might no longer exist. Therefore, aging might then be impossible and dead humans might be awakened from this “permafrost bed.”

Although cryopreservation has offered outstanding results to some people, it is still far from perfect since altering the nature of biological materials is highly crucial. It is true that some of its areas had proven extraordinary achievement in medicine, yet the process itself and its true potential should be carefully considered. In addition, ethical issues must also be dealt with. After all, these applications may be of great value in improving the quality and quantity of life. If time permits the success of cryonics, then the cause of death would be reversed!
