WOULD IT WORK iF WE cryogenically freeze OURSELFS FOR YEARS TO COME?

Question

SOME PEOPLE SAY ITS TRUE BUT.......NO CLEAR ANSWER HAS BEEN GIVEN....(and is it haram)

Answer 1

It means my race will have human popsicles to lick during those hot winter days on Earth.

Answer 2

Medically speaking, cryogenics is a long shot. In theory, it can preserve living tissue by keeping it at a certain temperature. Since the brain would also be frozen it is likely at this point that extensive brain damage would result from long term freezing. This would essentially be the same as being under water for 20 minutes. Miraculously some people survive but brain damage often ensues over time and many motor skills are lost as a result. The idea for cryogenics has been around for a while and is written about in science fiction novels i.e., suspended animation. Sperm and eggs can be frozen as well as stem cells for long periods of time, but no real studies have been used to study freezing the brain, and other vital organs. I'm afraid the answers may not be available for years to come, maybe even decades.

Answer 3

It's impossible to freeze ourselves cryogenically and wake up of be thawed years later- or- for that matter- even minutes later.

Freezing a human body means that we are stopping all its essential functions such as blood circulation, brain activity, breathing and regeneration of body cell, among others. Once the brain has been deprived of blood and oxygen, it will die an almost instantaneous death.

For example, an infant whose was deprived of oxygen due to any complications while delivery, will always be mentally retarded or have some medical condition which is usually irreversible.

Freezing blood would mean that clots for in our arteries and veins causing permanent blockages in the circulatory system. These cannot be merely dissolved when a cryogenically frozen body is thawed.

Thirdly, our body cells are being constantly regenerated as old ones die. If a human is frozen, such a regeneration would not be possible and revival of dead cells- an impossibility.

Also, human body has enzymes and tissues that begin to break down when the brain stops working and blood flow stops. This causes a condition called Rigor Mortis- in dead bodies. A frozen body will also undergo this process, though slower and tissues damaged in this natural process cannot be replaced in any manner so far known to medical science.

Finally, the human body is a wonderful piece of mechanism and like all machines, it has its own limitations. Exposure to high heat or cold will cause this machine- the body- to stop working properly or stop forever- which is death. Cryogenic freezing would have to be done far beyond such a tolerance level of cold.

Cryogenic freezing of humans exists- but so far, only in sci-fiction movies. There are no real tests because no human would be willing to volunteer as a guinea pig. A human subject is necessary for such a test since he/ she will be able to narrate the experience rather than an animal or lab mice.

Whether it is 'Haram' as Moslems call it or not, is too early to say because the technology doesnt exist except in sci-fi movies.

Broadly speaking, cryogenic freezing of humans to wake at a later date would be something rather scary. Imagine a person frozen for a hundred years suddenly coming to life and trying to relate to those of the modern age? Also, would the frozen-thawed person be able to cope with the advances and modernization that has occured over a century? Who would give this person a job? Would he/ she know the language of that era?

Practically speaking, cryogenic freezing of humans should be restricted to science fiction only.

Answer 4

we cannot freeze ourselves because once we froze our bodies, the ice crystals would destroy our cells, organs and everything else. it would kill us. there are animals in the wild, that can be frozen during the winter months, and then reawaken once it started to heat up, and i watched a show on tv one day that said nasa is studying these animals in hopes that we could one day acheive this so we could travel long distances in space by freezing ourselves until we reached a desired destination...pretty cool huh? but, I doubt it could happen...those animals have some kind of chemical or something in their bodies that protects them from the harmful effects of freezing, and i suppose if we found a way to get that into our bodies, it could be possible, but the way i look at it, is we are not meant to be frozen...our bodies are too fragile to withstand such a harsh environment.

Answer 5

No it is not...we can just freeze ourselves. It would cause the heart to stop...If we were stilll an embryo we could do it cuz they do that in present time...Actually I'm not sure...lol

Answer 6

i guess Mr. Walter Disney will be the first to answer, some day

Answer 7

No, you would become a corpsecicle.
