Inside the frozen facilities waiting for revival

Freezing cold is an attempt to save human life by freezing the body of patients suffering from incurable diseases that medicine currently has no treatment.

The Alcor Institute extends its life in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA in December 2012.

Some scientists believe that preserving frozen carcasses may succeed in the future, while many others are skeptical, according to the BBC. Photographer Murray Ballard spent many years photographing frozen frozen establishments in Britain, France, Norway, the US and Russia."What I like about the frozen method is that it gives us a means to consider questions about the future. When frozen, you have a much greater chance of resurrection than burial or cremation. "Business Insider quoted Ballard.

The plan to participate in the frozen body must be decided before the patient dies. In April 2016, Alcor Institute had 146 patients.

The freezing and preserving process begins immediately after the patient's "legal death" is declared. " Legal death" occurs when a patient falls into an irreversible condition and cannot sustain life with current technology. A person may decide to freeze the whole body or just the brain.

Dr. Aaron Drake prepared stable medicines used in the early stages of frozen storage at Alcor Institute in August 2009.

"Most of the frozen technicians agree that it is an experiment. Although the possibility of this method is very low, they think it is a reasonable job, " Ballard said.

The device was inside the Frozen Institute in Clinton Township, Michigan, USA in March 2007.

The frozen process consists of 4 basic steps: transporting, stabilizing the body, transferring frozen solution and keeping it cold.

When the certificate is dead, the patient is immediately transferred to the nearest freezing facility. They are encouraged to move closer to a facility before dying to increase the success rate for the process. In the stable stage, they are placed in ice tanks.Their respiratory and blood circulation systems are artificially restored through a heart-lung machine.

After successful transportation and stabilization, the patient is transferred the frozen solution to the body. At this step, blood is replaced by a vitrification solution to reduce the ice crystals in the body at the cold holding stage.

Finally, the patient was kept cold under the control of the computer with a nitrogen-circulating fan system. At first, they were kept cold at 125 degrees Celsius for 3 hours, then gradually reduced to minus 190 degrees Celsius for long periods of storage.
