A 2-year-old girl is frozen with the hope of reviving

A two-year-old girl died of brain disease that had frozen her body in the hope that someday she would revive thanks to scientific advances.

Baby Matheryn Naovaratpong from Thailand is the youngest person to be kept alive by frozen method. She was diagnosed with ventricular cirrhosis, a malignant brain tumor, with a tumor 11cm long in the left brain. Only 30% of patients can hold out for 5 years.

When the disease was discovered, little Matheryn was sunk into a coma. After a month of intensive care, including 12 brain surgeries, 20 chemotherapy sessions, 20 radiotherapy sessions, doctors said she had no chance. Her parents Matheryn accepted to interrupt the life-sustaining devices for her.When he died, 80% of his baby's left brain function was lost.

Matheryn's parents, also doctors who decided to freeze her body, were waiting for a medical miracle to help her revive and save her brain cells and organs. of the body to support studies of the disease that killed her in the future. Alcor, one of the world's largest cryogenic cryogenic service providers, based in Arizona (USA), accepted the case of Matheryn.

'Freezing the body will provide an opportunity for Matheryn to once again see the Sun when medical science is more advanced in the future,' said her father. Before that, the birth of her was also due to the advancement of science, because she was born by means of pregnant women. For the Matheryn family, freezing her body will bring peace to her soul, as well as comforting them after the tragic loss.

The body of Matheryn is being stored at -196 degrees Celsius with the part of the brain separated and preserved separately, as well as blood in the body replaced by antifreeze. However, the question of when science is advanced enough to revive even a frozen body is still there.

Aaron Drake, Alcor's medical director, said: 'We can create an internal organ, or grow a new heart in the lab. We can 3D print cells. So maybe at some point, we will be able to recreate her whole body, or at least the internal organs and replace them with the old organs, then put the brain back in. new body. "

There are a lot of people interested in this pioneering technology.

'The younger generation is more accustomed to technological changes. They argue that advanced technology is inevitable. They witnessed all this and asked: why not? 'Drake said.
