Girl cryogenically frozen

You've got to be my favorite bluemooner I've ever come across. You clearly know very little about the subject. You clearly are incredibly opinionated and consider yourself knowledgeable, well why don't you open your eyes and actually have a look at SCIENCE, FACTS etc rather than saying 'physics make it impossible'.

Even if what you are saying is based on real, scientific tests (which it isn't) we don't even understand physics properly yet. Only 100 years ago we thought it would be impossible to go into space and look where we are now.

I showed you a link before which has proved your entire argument invalid. They've already brought a mammal BRAIN to a 'near perfect' condition after vitrifying it. They already have plans to try the same thing with larger mammals. So what you say they will never be able to do, they have already done WITH MODERN DAY SCIENCE - NOT THE SCIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WE'LL HAVE AVAILABLE AFTER HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF INNOVATION AND ADVANCES.

Secondly - they aren't going to a fucking cemetery and digging up some corpse that's been left rotting for a few days. They're taking a 'patient' as soon as they are officially and clinically dead (after their heart stops beating naturally - before brain decay has begins) and preserving them, almost perfectly, in the hope that there might be a chance this poor 14 year old girl might live a full and enjoyable life.

I seriously don't get why this is difficult for some people?
I think you may have misunderstood the rabbit brain thing. They did not put it back in the rabbit and start it up. They just checked if looked un damaged! When they are able to carry out functional tests then it will be significant but even then that is not the same as confirming a personality is intact. Don't hold your breath for either of those outcomes. We will be living on other planets by then.
 
In essence I am agreeing with you, but on the small point about whether she could have been resuscitated, I would doubt that. Sometimes when people have "drowned" in an ice-cold lake (for example) they might last a bit longer because the cold can enable the brain to survive a bit longer, but 15 minutes without your heart pumping, in a normal warm hospital environment? I'd say that was goodnight Vienna.
That's the point though. After her last breath she had a form of CPR performed to keep blood pumping to her brain cells without restarting the heart before being frozen.

What you have stated is not incorrect, it's just not what happens. They try and keep the brain cells from dying.

I could believe the rabbit thing though mate (whatever it was - I didn't read it). Taking a working rabbit brain, freezing it and starting it up again - sure, I can see that. Taking a DEAD rabbit brain and starting that up? We'll be living in other galaxies by then (imho).

How did they "ship her remains" (as the media put it) from the UK to the US without her brain cells dying???

I fully accept (as I said in my first post!) that if we freeze or deep chill people with their brain not yet dead, then there could be hope.

I'd imagine a version of the old fashioned iron lung.
 
It's interesting but personally I think the real way people will end up living longer is when we are able to transfer the human brain to a computer.
