Revival (Q124730327)

So will it one day be possible to cryopreserve a human brain in such a manner that it can be revived intact? As explained, success will depend on the quality of the cryopreservation as well as the quality of the revival technology. Where the former is flawed, as it would be with current technologies, the demands on the latter increase.This has led to the suggestion that effective repair must inevitably rely on highly advanced nanotechnology – a field once considered science fiction. The idea is that tiny, artificial molecular machines could one day repair all sorts of damage to our cells and tissues caused by cryonics extremely quickly, making revival possible. Given the rapid advances in this field, it may seem hasty to dismiss the entire scientific aim behind cryonics. (English)

The biggest motivation for cryonics is the possibility of future revival (74%) and the affirming attitude that ‘life is good, more is better’ (72%) (English)

media legend

Feasibility of RevivalProving the revival of cryopatients is the most daring obstacle because there are currently no proven interventions that can extend human lifespan (19) talk more of resurrection after legal death. Revival would involve repairing damage caused by freezing (in unvitrified tissues), hypoxia, cryoprotectant toxicity, thermal stress, then cure and possibly tissue regeneration if necessary but valid questions to consider in this regard would be: what does it really entail to be alive?
