Question:
What are the chances of returning to life after cryogenic suspense with minimal brain damage?


Replies:
A bit slim, actually. The problem with wrapping someone up like a TV dinner and sticking him into a fancy Fridgidaire is not so much in the freezing process itself but in thawing the person out (I always wondered if you'd have to wrap them in a vacuum seal to guard against freezer burn...) When frozen, big crystals can form inside the body (we ARE around 80% water, after all..) which can rip up your blood vessels mighty nasty like. The probability of survival after all your blood vessels have been run through a microscopic pasta machine are pretty low...
