can someone be put in a Cryogenic state and be awaken several years later?

Question

plz serious answers, wat if the person is given anasthstics first and then put in a Cryogenic state (really cold) rapidly and monitored, with modern tech. can the person be awaken years later.

Answer 1

Currently, no, as it is impossible to bring the brain out of the cryogenic state without destroying it. The tissue is too fragile.

Answer 2

Not presently, the technology doesn't exist to perform the freezing effectively without causing crystalization of the water in your cells without damaging them. It is quite possible that someone frozen now may be saveable with future technology to thaw them in some magical way, but the technology today is not up to this. I have no doubt that it will be a viable option in the not too distant future. People with incurable diseases and disorders could be frozen until a cure for their problems are found, etc.

Answer 3

Totally impossible with the techniques and equipment we have today. The problem is not the freezing body its the freezing water(0 degrees C) in the cell. It blows the nucleoplasm to bits and makes scrambled goo out of the complex infrastructure of the human body at the cellular level...Even if you did see a frog or a catfish come back to life on TV i assure you if you freeze(even at absolute 0 degrees Kelvin) you will not be a good respondant to treatment....Good luck from the E!!!!

Answer 4

Hi!

Can someone right now, today, be frozen and recovered from a frozen state? No.

Can someone be placed in a very cold (>0C < 10C) hibernation state for several days with minimal lifesigns?
Yes.

A lot of development is going into the technology of Cryonics and Suspended Animation. Personally, I have signed up to be suspended with whatever technology is available at the time with the Cryonics Institute. (http://www.cryonics.org)

To me, being frozen is one of those "It might work, and it doesn't hurt" decisions. It seems silly not to take the chance.

Answer 5

So there are people frozen in labs.

I don't think anyone has come back- I do remeber a case in Emeryville, Ca where a dog was brought back. I don't know the details.

Here is a website with all their recent Cryogenic info:

Answer 6

We are not there yet technology wise although there are some people who have had their bodies frozen hoping that they can be awaken in a later time period when they can bring someone back, but in this day and age no. It's not possible.

Answer 7

It needs to be said that technology is and will be used by those in the know - there are things that we know nothing about and have to live with the lies dished out by authoritive types.
Just, you don't read about it, see anything, talked about, does it exist? Sure it does!
If yer open towards to enlightenment then it is possible.

We see in movies that all things are possible - though - its not everybodies cup of tea! Knowing the problem is usually the onset toward a solution.

Answer 8

The short answer is no. The problem is that water expands when it freezes and in the process of crystallization it breaks the cell walls. Since your body is mostly water this means that the very act of freezing destroys the integrity of your cellular structure. The answer is to flash freeze a body. Trouble is, we can't do that yet nearly fast enough.

Answer 9

Not with any technology we posses today.

Once electrical activity ceases in the brain, you are pretty much dead (although some might try to debate it). Neuronal tissue does not regenerate, so when people say you better lay off the drugs, it's because when you lose your brain cells they are gone for good. Without a heartbeat to pump nutrients (such as glucose and oxygen) to the cells they will die.

Answer 10

Theoretically yes, because kids and adults have fallen into frozen lakes, where they died for a few minutes sometimes up to 20 minutes or more....then they were warmed up and revived so we know it can work for short periods of time, the only downside I can see is that most things crystalize when theyre frozen and this would mangle the bodies tissues.
