IMMORTALITY
Is the future of everlasting life cryonics?
One way in which you could give yourself the opportunity to live even after death is with cryonic suspension. It may have been able to bring back Austin Powers after 30 years of suspension, but beyond the world of science fiction, the practicalities of cryonics remain a mystery. Right now we have the technology to cryogenically preserve a human body, but remain clueless on how to revive them when the time is right. It’s the belief that humankind will one day find a way to successfully thaw patients and treat whatever illnesses led to their death. The world leader in cryonics, Alcor, currently has 181 patients and has been storing humans for 49 years, including the company’s founder, Fred Chamberlain.
