Attempt to cheat death??

Death is something that we can’t avoid. According to Chinese, there are 4 stages of life; live, old, sick and die. This are stages that no matter how you tried, you can’t avoid. Most people have accepted that on one level or another. Others feel that life expectancy can be doubled or tripled from what it is now.

Some people are terrified enough to spend vast amounts of money to put it off as long as possible with a new phenomena (mainly for the injured or terminally ill) by being cryogenically frozen.

This procedure can be done in California, (for approx. $120,000.00) the only place on the planet where cryogenic freezing is legal. The million-dollar question, however, is does it work? Well, not yet, according to Alcor. The idea is that because science is moving so fast, in just a few years they should have the technology to re-animate you, and repair all the damage done to your body as a result of being frozen at -220C. The human body is a very intricate and complex organism.

Every second of the day blood is being pumped around your body, delivering vital energy and nutrients to your cells. These cells have very limited energy reserves, so when your heart stops and the blood is no longer flowing, they quickly run out of nutrients and begin to succumb to toxic chemical reactions. The key point is that when subjected to extreme cold, these toxic reactions are greatly slowed down. By freezing the cells in liquid nitrogen, Alcor hopes to slow the decaying process down to a point where you can be theoretically be kept in cryostasis forever.

Their philosophy is that if a person’s body and brain cells are properly preserved, then that person is potentially alive, no matter how long they might have been clinically ‘dead’. There is still no proof whatsoever that we will ever possess the technology to bring those already frozen back to life.

The possibilities are frightening. The implications of people having massively extended lifespans have not yet been explored in detail - the few studies done all predict nothing but disaster for the planet as a whole. Until those with this obsessive fear of death come to grips with their own mortality, they will continue using their financial weight to steer science towards a confrontation with nature that we can never win.

So what do u guys think about this?

Part of me says what a bunch of fucking retards but another part of me thinks its a possibility. So i guess i've got mixed feelings about it. But imagine this, even if they brought you back to life, let's say a hundred years from now, what's so great about still being alive while all your friends, relatives including your love one are gone? Human just can't cheat death
