4. The most important application of Nanotechnology is
CRYONICS. “Cryo” is a Greek root meaning "cold"
Cryonics is the science and practice of preserving the
recently deceased in hope of future revival
Cryonics is practice of preserving human body in extremely
cold temperatures.
The person can be "Frozen” then revived in the future when
a cure has been discovered
Using COLD to PRESERVE the life of a person no longer
able to be supported by ordinary medicine -
(Cryopreservation)
Goal: REANIMATION- Carry person forward for however
long until preservation process can be reversed and the
patient restored to full health.
5. patients are placed in
individual aluminum containers
Each container is designed to hold
four whole body patients and
containers are immersed in liquid
nitrogen at -196 degrees Celsius.
6. The oldest patient currently still being held in
cryopreservation is Dr.James Bedford , who was dead in
1967. His body is reportedly still in good condition at Alcor Life Extension Foundation
7. Why only nanotechnology is used in
cryonics?
Cryonics basically deals with cells, these cells are
in the order of nanometers.
A nanometre is equivalent to the width of six
bonded carbon items. A DNA molecule is 2.5nm
wide.
At present there is no other technology which deals
with such minute cells.
In theory, a nano cell ‘ sentinel’ could make our
body immune to any present or future infectious
disease. .
If advanced nanotechnology is available for
patient recovery, then fracturing probably causes
little information loss.
8. FUTURE
ENHANCEMENTS
With the knowledge of cryonics, cryonists are
preserving the brains of humans.
We now that each person alive today was once
a single cell and a complete human being can
be grown in the natural state.
Thus they believe that genetic programming of a
single cell on the surface of that brain begins a
process of growth and development that perhaps
appends to the brain a complete young adult
body.
