FREEZING TIME
Science has always been the equivalent of necessity and hope. In 1922, Alexander Yarolavsky wrote the Anabiosys Poem giving birth to an idea that would revolutionize medical science. Here’s all you need to know about Cryonics, a procedure which can bring the dead back to life.
Cryonics is the procedure of deep-freezing the bodies of people who have recently died, with the hopes that future scientific advancements may allow their revival. The bodies are held in liquid nitrogen which essentially stops physical decay. People held in this state are referred to as ‘cryopreserved patients’ since they are technically not dead. These patients are kept in a giant stainless steel Thermos bottle called a Bigfoot Dewar.
The modern era of Cryonics began in 1962 when Robert Ettinger privately published his book The Prospect of Immortality. He proposed a theory saying freezing people could be a way to reach future medical technology. He elaborated on his concept of two ideas which stated that what appeared to be fatal today may be reversible in the future and the early stages of clinical death may be reversible in the future.

While Cryonics preserves the entire body, Neurocryopreseration is a method of preserving only the head of the dead person. This theory states that only the brain contains any important information and a new body may also be cloned in the future. The brain is a fragile organ that cannot be removed from the skull without injury, so it is left within the skull during preservation and storage for good ethical and scientific reasons.
