Cryopreservation, hibernation, induced coma

• A solution for critical injuries and transplants
We are on the threshold of new technologies to study the feasibility-less-distant pause in our bodies.

But unlike the dark intentions of the novel by Cook, stop our biological clock could benefit those with critical injuries, preserve donor organs for transplants, fight cancer, given the opportunity to develop into a future therapies for diseases today incurable or, as the authors dream of science fiction, sleeping during decades of intergalactic flights to wake up fresh and alert at the destination.

How to freeze the dead: the criogenizatiopn

When has ruled the death a legal person, begins a complex operation to keep grazing at a temperature of 200 degrees below zero.

Before 24 hours (stage cooling), is extracted from blood and injecting liquid preservative to retard decomposition. Then he moved the body covered with ice to 2 degrees at the center Cryonics.

Two days later, is carried out phase infusion crioprotectores. It practiced a "by-pass" the blood is drained and mixed with the preservative solution.

During 5 hours, he applied cryoprotectants and 40 liters of other chemicals. It punctured his head to see if antifreeze and arrive to check the temperature.

From third to seventh day is with the freeze. It introduces the body into a liquid silicone cuba, wrapped in plastic bags with cables connected to the skull. Bottles of sand are added to the body is completely submerged. Gradually, it will reduce its temperature for up to 196 degrees below zero.

From eighth to twelfth day, the body to 196 degrees below zero, is stored in an insulated bag and placed inside a container individually with liquid nitrogen.

After 2 weeks, finally enters into a tank where the tubular steel body, along with others, is upside down so that his head will be the last to suffer the effects of a possible thaw. In the same or other container, are preserved only heads have also been subjected to criogenización.
