I'm fairly sure that it refers to cryonics, though I'll do a bit more research to make sure. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 mins (2022-11-28 17:36:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Cryonics is one extreme of cryopreservation where the whole body is frozen in the hope that one day it will be possible to revive it. On a smaller scale in day-to-day medicine, freezing is an extremely useful technique for storing living cells, such as blood cells, bone marrow, sperm and embryos, at ultra-low temperatures. But scientists agree that preserving and reawakening the complete human body is a remote possibility which would take massive breakthroughs in technology. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-38019392 Page 32 However, Geoffrey has many plans to overcome these obstacles. He feels that research to perfect methods of cryonization and resuscitation is of primary importance. There are plans afoot to make a start in this direction, and a building is available upon completion of the plans. https://www.alcor.org/docs/cryonics-magazine-2016-06.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 mins (2022-11-28 17:38:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- We are a group of UK researchers focused on cryonics and cryopreservation. Our network was established in 2015 to promote research on cryopreservation and discuss its potential applications, including the idea of cryopreserving whole humans, commonly known as cryonics. Our activities are supported by several distinguished UK and international advisors: https://www.cryonics-research.org.uk/about-us.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2022-11-28 17:44:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Cryonics, aka human cryopreservation, is the practice of preserving human bodies at sub-freezing temperatures (-196°C) after their legal death. The intent is to restore good health when medical technology has the capability. Cryogenics is the production and behavior of material at extremely low temperatures. The cryogenic temperature range is from −150 °C (−238 °F) to absolute zero (−273 °C or −460 °F), the temperature at which molecular motion comes as close as theoretically possible to ceasing completely. It has a wide range of uses in our society already, both medical and non-medical. For example, MRI machines that use liquid helium require cryogenic cooling; the storage of large quantities of food; special effects fog, and even recycling. However, cryogenics is often confused with cryonics in popular culture - where it is referred to as “cryogenic freezing”. This is probably where you first came across the idea of human cryopreservation, but thought it was known by a different name. In some instances, the depictions are completely wrong, with ice playing an important role in the preservation methods. But you know that ice is avoided in cryopreservation through a process called vitrification, right? If you don’t, have a look at our article on the topic. However, cryonics wouldn’t be possible without understanding how things exist at cryogenic temperatures. Biostasis is the ability of an organism to tolerate environmental changes without having to actively react to them. It is typically a normal occurrence in certain organisms that have to endure difficult living conditions. This can include surviving droughts, freezing temperatures, or a change in pH levels, pressure, or temperature. https://www.tomorrow.bio/post/cryonics-cryogenics-biostasis-... |
