Bringing the dead back to life seems to be the dream of some people. The cryogenic method is said to be the first way to bring the dead back to life. really?
Check out this review of the technology to bring the dead back to life. Quoted from the South China Morning Post, Thursday (1/10/2020), there are four such institutions in the world. the four institutions are the Shandong Yinfeng Life Science Research Institute located in Jinan, China; Cryonics Institute and Alcor Life Extension Foundation in the United States and KrioRus in Russia. There are more than 3,000 other people who are still alive, but have registered so that when they die they are frozen to be revived. Wow! Dead bodies are stored in stainless steel containers containing super cold liquid nitrogen. Du Hong, a writer from Chongqing, was the first human in China to undergo the procedure after dying of pancreatic cancer in 2015.
Yinfeng Life itself cooperates with hospitals and universities in China. The director is Aaron Drake who used to work at Alcor. He expressed the differences in institutions in China and in other countries that might make the Bamboo Curtain Country superior. In the US, institutions with such methods must strictly follow the law and do not have a medical license. "It's just like someone who is frozen buried," said Aaron, as quoted from detik.com, recently. “But the Chinese government doesn't just want us to be a body freeze project. The government wants how this project can be useful in all medical areas. This is a big research project so I am interested in joining,” he said. So the institution is also developing other technologies, such as organ transplants that are more effective. With the support of the Chinese government and actively developing its methods, it is possible that Yinfeng Life will be ahead of its competitors in other countries.
Salah satu hal yang ingin mereka selesaikan adalah menyimpan badan seluruh manusia dengan lebih efektif sehingga nanti lebih mudah ‘dibangkitkan’. Saat ini, institusi tersebut telah menyimpan 10 badan manusia dan peminatnya terus bertambah. “Lebih dari 100 orang mengunjungi kami tahun silam, dan 60 orang menjadi anggota di mana mereka berkomitmen ingin melakukan proses cryonics,” klaim Aaron.
He added that Chinese culture is even more accepting of such methods because they are less religious than in some western countries. They tend not to mind the procedure performed. Even though the technology of resurrecting the dead is still an impossibility and not necessarily a reality, Aaron remains optimistic. That's because the progress in the medical field according to him is very rapid. “People are now dying of cancer, Parkinson's and other brain diseases. If we were to head for another hundred years, the disease would probably be easy to treat. In the early 1900s, people died from heart attacks, strokes and influenza. But now modern medicine can easily handle it, “concluded Aaron. Dr James Hiram Bedford was the first to undergo the freezing process to try to come back to life in the next few years. Berford died on January 12, 1967 of kidney cancer. He's been kept and frozen at Alcor since 1991.
Bedford officially died in a southern California nursing home at the age of 73, and he donated his body to the Life Extension Society, a group of early cryonics enthusiasts. A few hours after death, he was injected with dimethyl sulfoxide solvent to prevent tissue damage, then packed in a styrofoam box filled with dry ice, and finally immersed in liquid nitrogen.
Over the next 27 years, Bedford's liquid nitrogen chamber continued to move, as various cryonics companies went bankrupt or were forced to relocate due to insurance or regulatory issues. From 1977 to 1982, frustrated by high maintenance costs, the Bedford family kept the unit in a self-contained storage facility in southern California, occasionally replenishing its liquid nitrogen. After the death of his wife in 1982, Bedford's body and container were entrusted to the company that became Alcor. Alcor director Jerry Leaf, who died cryopreserved in 1991, took out a life insurance policy on himself to fund Bedford's ongoing treatment. Bedford has only been seen once in the last 50 years. In 1991, Alcor moved it from its damaged unit to a new storage tank. However, Bedford's condition was not good. The skin on the neck and upper chest becomes inflamed. His nose was broken and his chest was cracked. But according to one cryonics pioneer, Bedford still looks good. “I cannot describe the joy I felt when I opened the sleeping bag that covered you and saw that you looked whole and well cared for,” wrote former Alcor president Mike Darwin in an open letter to Bedford, to be read on his return trip.
"No matter what, you've been frozen all along," he continued.
KrioRus from Russia The Russian company offers a service for people who want to freeze their brains or bodies. The hope is that this frozen organ can be revived in the future with the technology of that time. The company is called KrioRus and is the first company outside the United States to offer the service. They offer brain freeze services which are priced at 11,000 Pounds Sterling (Rp 195 million) and body freeze services which are valued at 28,000 Pounds Sterling (Rp 498 million).
Reported by detikINET from the Daily Mail, Wednesday (15/1/2020) there are currently more than 70 people who have registered for this cryogenic procedure. They also claim to have hundreds of potential clients from 20 countries. One of the people who have joined this program is Alexei Voronenkov. When his mother died, he paid a sum of money to have his mother's brain frozen and kept by KrioRus.
"I did this because we are very close and I think this is the only chance for us to meet again in the future," said Voronenkov, who also intended to undergo the procedure when he died. Director of KrioRus, Valeriya Udalova, said the cryogenic procedure could help many people who feel lost after the loss of their loved ones. He said there was a possibility that technology that could bring back people who had died could be created, although there was currently no guarantee.
How much does it cost? KrioRus from Russia offers body freezing services for £28,000 or Rp. 498 million. Reported by the Daily Mail, Director of KrioRus, Valeriya Udalova said there is a possibility that technology to revive the dead can be created, although there is currently no guarantee. To this day, scientists do not know how to revive a frozen body in the Cryogenic freezing process. The Cryonics Institute has conducted experiments on dogs and monkeys being revived after their blood was replaced with antifreeze. However it is not completely frozen in the cryogenic technique.
While the organs of the body for the need for surgery, have often been frozen and still in good condition. But freezing a human completely and being revived in the future, that's still not the answer. Many scientists are skeptical and think this is just pseudoscience.
However, the practice of KrioRus is opposed by the Head of the Pseudoscience Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Evgeny Alexandrov. He told the Izvestia newspaper that cryogenics is just a business that has no scientific basis. Besides, this kind of practice is just fantasy speculating about one's hopes of being revived from the dead and dreams of eternal life. Well, how?
