CryogenicWhat is CryogenicTo live forever and maybe ever. But a pioneering field called cryogenic could give some people two lives. One such center is the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Arizona, which stores bodies in bags that are filled with liquid nitrogen at very low temperatures of 320 degrees Fahrenheit (or 78 Kelvin). The idea is that a person dying from an incurable for today's science disease, could be frozen and revived in the future when they find the cure. The body of former legendary baseball player Ted Williams is kept in a frozen by the Alcor. Like other colleges located there, is in a position with the head down. Thus, if ever there was a leak in the container, the brain will remain in the cold liquid. Still not revive any of the frozen bodies, because no such technology. If the body is not frozen in a suitable temperature, the cells will turn into ice and broke into pieces. |
