DEEP THOUGHT #11.1

What's up everybody this is Lord Avanton. I'm getting back into the flow of blogging so I'll be publishing stuff pretty quickly. This DEEP THOUGHT will be on Cryonics! It's basically when a being is vitrified, chemically frozen, and then they are preserved for an undisclosed period of time. This normally happens when someone is dying of a disease that cannot be cured and they want to wait until a cure can be made in the future. So BOOM! In the freezer you go. This was developed by Robert Ettinger in the 1950's and he published his theory in 1962 in his book The Prospect of Immortality. Ettinger recently died in August 2012 from respiratory failure and his 92 year old body was vitrified and preserved in the same institute that he helped to create. He was 106th patient. Right, now it's time to go really deep for a little background, this is a excerpt from a paper I'm writing on this subject, "Death is the only thing in life that is certain. We all know that we will perish one day. We are afraid of death. We are afraid because we don’t know what lies beyond our mortal or earthly bodies. This uncertainty fuels our desire to do as much as possible before we die. Thusly, science fiction novels and games where the protagonist or several hundred members of a crew are “frozen” in a large storage area for their preservation so the mission can be completed catch our eyes and intrigue us. We may not know it, but subconsciously, a little spark in the back of our brains ignites and we begin to say, “Why can’t we cheat death?” The rational part of our brains however, keeps us from voicing the seemingly absurd desires. For no one can cheat death, can they?" Nice intro right? Yeah, don't lie to me. Anyway, here's another part, "The theory of cryonics stems from watching nature prepare organisms for cold temperature for millions of years. Trees have twigs and branches that can survive being frozen through direct exposure to liquid nitrogen after proper natural prepping. They create an “antifreeze” solution that turns the bark to glass when it reaches a certain temperature. Certain vertebrates such as frogs and salamanders have adapted to expose their internal organs to severe freezing temperatures and have recovered fully after thawing. The real heavyweights of cold temperature survival however are the insects that can survive -75 C and the fish that can operate at 1 degree below their freezing point." Cool no? You can be put in a freezer when you die and come back 200 years later or something. Alright this is all the time I have for right now. Comment and give me...FEEDBACK! Part two will be forthcoming! PEACE OUT!
