Cryogenia is at the center of an ambitious project that aims to challenge the limits of science and life itself. In this regard, a German start-up offers the possibility of freezing the body of people shortly before their death with the hope of “awakening” them in a future in which medicine has made progress such as to cure lethal diseases today.
This innovative service is available at a cost of approximately 200,000 dollarsand the European laboratory has already cryoplasted 7 people and 4 pets. However, the future of this technology seems promising, considering that there are already 700 people registered in the waiting list from all over the world.
According to Tomorrow.bio, the cryoprewing process is designed to maintain the body in conditions that can be revived once the technology is able to treat lethal diseases and reverse the damage caused by the process itself. However, there is currently no concrete tests that show that it is possible to bring a cryogenically preserved body back to life. There are also doubts about brain damage which could occur during storage or awakening.
To ensure the safety and sustainability of the project, the company collaborates with the European Biostasis Foundation (EBF)a non -profit organization based in Switzerland. This partnership offers a long -term warranty: even in the event of the company’s failure, cryopreserved patients will remain safe until future technology allows a possible resuscitation.
How does the cryoprewing work?
The process begins immediately after the patient’s brain death, preferably with the presence of the medical team to intervene promptly. The method provides for several phases:
- Quick cooling of the bodyto minimize the damage to the fabrics.
- Cardiopulmonary support through specialized machinery.
- Administration of drugs neuroprotectors And anticoagulant.
- Blood replacement with a cryoprotective substance, necessary to avoid damage during the conservation period.
The body is subsequently transported to a Swiss laboratory, where it is inserted in a capsule with liquid nitrogen and stored in a room at extremely low temperatures, up to -196 ° C.
International expansion and future prospects
The startup is expanding its services not only in Europe but also in the United States, with the opening of operating offices a New York, Florida and California. Furthermore, by 2025, the company aims to make the cryoprewing more accessible and safethanks to continuous investments in research and development.
Another distinctive element is the possibility of freezing not only human beings but also petsoffering an alternative for those who want to preserve their four -legged loved ones for an uncertain future.
Despite the progress and ambition of similar projects, cryogenia remains wrapped in uncertainty. The crucial question remains open: Will it ever be possible to bring a cryogenically preserved body back to life?
