I wonder how this is going to advance the status of cryogenic freezing.

[-] potustheplant@feddit.nl 9 points 5 days ago

It won't. That's simply not possible for an organism as large and complex as a human being. You can watch this for a more detailed explanation.

Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized

[-] potustheplant@feddit.nl 2 points 5 days ago

How would that solve the issue presented in the paper the video mentions?

One of the issues with cryonics in large animals is sufficiently saturating all of the tissues with cryoprotectants to prevent frostbite. Some have speculated that it might be possible to engineer an organism to produce it's own cryoprotectant proteins inside all of its cells, as some arctic fish and insects do.

That wouldn't help with getting even heat into all of the tissues for thawing though.

they should eat one, or place it in their ear canal :)

The Russians were pissed when all of their soldiers died and only SG-1 made it out alive.

Is one of them RFK's brain worm?

Must be famished after all that time

The dictionary definition says more than two, but it also says it mean some; which has a definition of an unspecified amount.

One funny thing about the dictionary is that complex words are explained in simple language and simple words are explained in complex language.

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

Unspecified amount which is greater than two.
