Girl cryogenically frozen

You obviously don't understand the whole point of cryrogenics.

She isn't frozen, she is cryrogenically preserved. That means she's stored in a container that's set to a very specific temperature which 'stops' all molecular/atomical movement. She doesn't start to decay, she doesn't get frozen, her body will be in exactly the same state until the science is available to 'resuscitate' her.

Now that we've got that out of the way. Imagine talking to someone who'd lived 200 years ago. They'd be utterly shocked at how impressive our science was now. The things we can do now are mostly unimaginable back then. Organ transplants spring to mind. Now with technology, science develops at an exponential rate. We're on the cusp of creating super A.I. that would be much, much more intelligent than humans could ever be. It would be the difference between a human's intelligence when compared to a chicken's for example. If we get that before 2100 AD (which nearly 100% of scientist who study it believe would be a conservative estimate) who knows what we could do.

There could be a machine you walk through that returns your body to it's physical peak. There would be a cure for every disease. Issues like starvation, poverty would be a thing of the past. We'd colonize the universe and beyond.

Humans have this unambitious thought process, where they can only see the world through their current view. Imagine in the 50's if you'd have talked about the internet - you'd have sounded mad.

Nope. You're missing the point. She died because her organs were fucked. They will still be fucked a thousand years from now.

No, you don't understand the whole concept. Her organs are fucked in accordance to modern day science. They will either be treatable/replaceable/irrelevant in the future. It's something I've read up about and know a lot about. It's an ambitious idea, but one that makes sense.
 
Not worthy of being on the front page of a broadsheet.
Nobody's business but the family's.

Spot on. Seeing as the brain is around 75% water freezing it and defrosting it would turn it to mush anyway.
I dont understand the reasoning for it, do they think that memorys can be frozen if you drop the temperature a bit!? If she ever did wake up she would be a lifeless vegetable at best

I don't get why people comment on something they know fuckall about as if they're an expert.

SHE IS NOT BEING FROZEN. SHE WILL NEVER BE DEFROSTED.

Her body is being stopped, everything, down to her atoms are being stopped, still. They won't decay, they won't freeze, they just stop. Currently there is no way to restart that process safely but there will be, in the not to distant future. In the not to distant future the disease that has 'killed' her will be curable.

Even if there is only a 10% chance of it working, surely it's worth the risk? I can't see how anyone looks on at this negatively.
 
She's only about the 11th person in the UK to have this done, my brother being the 10th last year, when he died of multiple organ cancer.
When he was very close to the end, there was a specialist team on standby 24/7 for his demise. After his last breath, CPR was performed to keep the blood supply to his brain flowing, and he was placed in an ice bath in the ambulance and an automatic CPR machine attached to his chest, until they could get him to the cryogenic facility. Apparently, his body is now in Trumpland.

My nephew, his eldest son, paid for this, and has set up a trust fund so that other family members can have this if they wish. I've already told him there is a space by my wife's ashes box for me at her grave.

Strange? Yes, of course it is, but it was his choice, and you've got to respect that. Who knows what the future will bring - City could win everything for the next 200 years, but I'll a grandstand seat up there looking down (or up!) to watch it.

There is less than the square root of fuck all chance of this EVER working.

Once your brain has turned to mush, there's no getting in back. Yes, we can freeze your body and we'll definitely be able to fix/replace the broken bits. That is pretty much guaranteed.

But your brain is a living organ of which the cells start dying as soon as the oxygen supply stops and once it's gone, your gone. It's like the ram in your computer and once the power goes, I don't care if it's the Krell super race trying to revive what was in there, it's LOST.

The only hope I would suggest would be to put people into deep chill (not freeze) BEFORE they have died. So when you have a terminal illness, maybe 1 week before you will probably die, they'd induce a coma, drop your body temperature right down and keep your blood pumping artificially at the equivalent of about 4 beats per minute, with your body at maybe 4C. It may be possible to keep someone alive like this for many years, and hopefully if you could do it for say 30 or 40 years then perhaps a cure might exist for whatever was killing them.

Critically, their brain would still be alive, so there COULD be a chance this might work. But cryogenic freeze after you are dead? You might as well put your body in a blender and hope to revive it. No flipping chance whatsoever.

(That's assuming that in 500 years, the people looking after the human ice lollies don't get bored and switch the machine off anyway.)

This post is so utterly, incorrect it's hilarious.

Please just read up on it before you post stuff like this because what you're saying just isn't anywhere near being correct.

You've got the brochure and signed up for this haven't you?

If your body is -196C then you're frozen, simple as that.

Are you this 14 year old girl contacting us from the future?
