does anyone know if you cryonics will destroy ur brain,been checking cant find the answer?

Answer 1

Noone really knows. We don't yet have the technology (may never) to re-animate someone that has been preserved cryonically. Until such time as that is successfully done, we won't know exactly what kind of damage is done to the brain.

Answer 2

Cryonics demonstrates the failure of some in medical sciences to understand what underpins life itself. But herein is where theology and science will someday merge and resolve to the answer on this, say, fancy, which answer quite frankly is a simple one.

Nothing that science or engineering does can import life.

When a soul has left its shell, all, naturallly, is done. The rest is but study and observation by the observer of its manifold parts gross or subtle...organ or cell. After life, a body is but a mechanism and no longer a viable being.

Answer 3

No. The prior answers are technically wrong.

The process of cryonics, when applied properly, prevents ice crystal formation because the patients are NOT "frozen", rather, they are "Vitrified". This is a CRITICAL DISTINCTION in the definitions of each term.

Vitrification is sometimes referred to by laymen as "flash freezing", but it does not involve freezing at all. Freezing causes water to expand and ice crystals to form and would certainly destroy the brain. Freezing allows time for water to migtrate out of cells and into intracellular spaces where it would form ice crystals that would puncture and tear apart neurons causing damage.

Vitrification is so fast that water does not have time to migrate out of cells, nor to expand, nor to form crystals.

Freezing is a can of Coke exploding in your freezer: not good. Vitrification is like fast drying concrete: sets rapidly without crystals or expansion.

Cryonics as an experimental process is not intended or designed to destroy the brain, but to preserve it. Drugs used to stabilize patients before vitrification are targeted to reverse blood clot damage (if any), to block anti-oxidant damage, to lower the brain's energy needs, and to increase the effectivness of the vitrification itself.

So, NO, Cryonics does not destroy the brain, it preserves and protects it for future science to address regarding reversal of vitrification and revival.

Answer 4

There has been no successful reanimation of human life after cryonics. The methods have not been perfected to prevent celluar/molecular damage due to ice crystals when a body is frozen, so I would say yes, brain cells would be irreparibly damaged, as would any other cells.

Answer 5

No one knows for sure, that's why people pay thousands of dollars to be cryogenically frozen. It ruins the cells of raspberries though. When you freeze raspberries the water in the cells expands and breaks down the fibre of the raspberries. When the raspberries are thawed out they are mush. Same could happen to human brain I suppose. But no one knows.

Answer 6

Yes.

Ice crystals will form, rupturing cell walls, capillaries, etc.

IF they were able to revive you, you'd almost certainly be a vegetable, with a lower IQ than a rock.

Answer 7

I thought this was all BS because there is no way you could be brought back from the dead ; )
