1. The practice of freezing an individual who has died,<\/span> to revive them in the future, is known as cryonics.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 The word cryonics is derived from the Greek word “kr\u00fdos,” meaning “icy cold.”<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Objective:<\/strong> Cryonics aims to save lives by preserving individuals<\/span> at extremely low temperatures until future medical technologies can restore them to full health.<\/p>\n

4. Individuals in this state are referred to as “cryopreserved patients,”<\/span> as Cryonicists do not consider them truly dead.<\/p>\n

5. Process:<\/strong> The process of Cryonic preservation involves the following process:<\/p>\n

a) Cryonic preservation can only be performed after an individual has been legally declared dead.\u00a0The process begins shortly after death, with the body being packed in ice and transported to a cryonics facility.<\/p>\n

b)\u00a0 At the facility, blood is drained and replaced with antifreeze and organ-preserving compounds known as cryoprotective agents.<\/p>\n

c) In this vitrified state, the body is placed in a chamber filled with liquid nitrogen and preserved at -196 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n

6. Currently, a few hundred bodies have been frozen through cryonics.<\/p>\n
