The Life Extension Foundation relies on modern science to freeze human beings and unfreeze them after several years, decades or even hundreds of years to extend life. With this technology, human beings, especially those incurable patients, can continue their lives if conditions permit. When their diseases can be cured, they can be thawed and their lives can be extended. At present, the larger life extension foundations are: "the fifth star" life extension foundation; Alcoa Life Extension Foundation, both of which are Americans.
In short, I'm afraid it's like science fiction. Many people don't believe it, but it's true. The cost of delayed preservation of the whole body from head to toe is $6.5438+$0.5 million, while the cost of delayed preservation of nerves (brain only) is $80,000. The following are examples from two foundations: (The picture shows a container for people) The Fifth Star Life Extension Foundation is located in Arizona, USA. It is the largest cryonics institution in the United States. They hope to protect the dead through ultra-low temperature and use advanced technology to regenerate them in the future.
Accompanied by the staff, I first visited the human body preservation room, which they called the "ward". Pushing open the door, a pungent smell came to my face. Under the dim light, there are rows of silver-white stainless steel storage tanks. These big water tanks are two people high, and they are connected with countless pipes and some small containers. Maybe I'm a little nervous. George Cukor, who accompanied me on the tour, said with a smile, "Isn't this a bit beyond reality? Many sci-fi movies have similar devices, but we are serious. One day we will turn what Hollywood does with stunts into reality. " After explanation, I realized that these water storage tanks are "temporary shelters" for "patients". George Cukor described the whole process of "life extension" to me in front of these large storage tanks. "Our foundation has a membership system. These members come from all over the world, and the center has established a very detailed personal database for them. The most important thing is their medical records and current health status. At the last moment of their lives, they will all come to the United States for treatment, and our special care team is always on standby. Once the member was declared dead, the team immediately rushed to the scene for emergency cryotherapy. After that, these' patients' will be sent to the center within 24 hours. Freezing starts from the heart and lungs, blood is pumped out of the body, and glycerin solvent is injected to prevent frostbite. After the drug treatment, the "patient" was wrapped in a blanket and placed head-down in these stainless steel tanks filled with liquid nitrogen. His temperature drops to-196℃ slowly, and it takes about 5 days to reach this temperature. The liquid nitrogen in the steel tank is replaced twice a month to maintain the required low temperature. " Maybe the big cans around me were nervous, so I had to interrupt Cook and say that I would interview their director, Professor Jerry Ole. Only when I saw this man did I realize that he was a little old man. "Do you really believe that freezing can bring people back to life?" ? Many scientists think this is ridiculous. ""First of all, please be careful not to use the word' death' casually. Forty years ago, people thought that cardiac arrest was death, but with the progress of science, this common sense was quickly overthrown. It is not difficult to save a person with cardiac arrest now. Now, some people suggest that brain wave stop marks the end of life, but experiments show that brain wave stop is not the same as the disappearance of consciousness. Therefore, people here are not' dead', but' patients'. They are people in a deep sleep state. In addition, the rapid development of bioengineering technology, the continuous renewal of micro-materials and the application of cloning technology make it possible to extend life. My wife and daughter are members of the center. If you have any questions, I can answer you in 100 years. "The membership system is adopted within the foundation. As long as you pay the membership fee of $65,438 +050, you can sign a contract with the foundation. When members formally "check in", they need to pay 1.2 million USD for body freezing and 50,000 USD for head freezing, and they can pay by installments if they are short of money. Although the center currently has only 52 "patients", Jerry Ole is very optimistic about the future. He said: "Our members have reached more than 600 people from all over the world. These people are not as rich, ignorant and afraid of death as people think. They are all very knowledgeable, and some of them are even experts in a certain field. Some couples, young men and women also joined the club, hoping to continue their frontier in a few years. "▲ (Excerpted from Japan's Fashion Weekly on February 3, 65438) Human beings always hope to prolong their life, even to achieve eternal life. If you think so, you might as well visit the mysterious American "Life Extension Foundation" with Japanese journalists. Global Times (2002 edition 13 12.09) "My father is at the bottom". Hugh hickson piously pointed to the shiny tin can and said that Hugh hickson's father, hickson Sr, was lying in this liquid nitrogen container at-0 196℃. According to Hugh Huxon, since 1982, his father hasn't died, just "didn't move". The frozen body, like the ancient Hexon, is waiting for the most magical cutting-edge technology-"recovery". At the same time, the business of Alcaud Life Extension Foundation, an American cryonics organization, has developed rapidly. Robert Ettinger, a professor of physics, once predicted the future in his best-selling book "The Immortal Outlook" published in 1964: "Sooner or later, our future friends can make us reborn and cure our diseases. "Old Hexon is not alone. As of July, 2006, Alcoa Life Extension Foundation in Arizona, USA has 800 members, among whom 74 patients are kept in this low-temperature medical industrial refrigeration building. The frozen objects of the Foundation also include pets of surrounding residents, mainly dogs and cats. Those Alcaud foundation members who are willing to be frozen in liquid nitrogen after death voluntarily pay a lot of money for this service: the cost of delayed preservation of the whole body from head to toe is $6.5438+0.5 million, while the cost of delayed preservation of the nerve (only the brain) is $80,000. Of course, this is not expensive for Hutchison, a former US Air Force officer and now the chief technology officer of the Alcoa Foundation. The Alcoa Foundation is the largest of the three companies engaged in cryonics in the United States. " "The rewards are huge," said the biochemist. It's like winning the lottery You don't know if you can win. In order to win the prize, you need to buy a lottery ticket first. "Cryos comes from the Greek adjective" Cryos "(Cryos comes from the Greek word" crystallization of ice "); This is a science fiction novel that fascinated readers in the 1960s. 1964 three years after the science fiction novel published by edinger, a Canadian doctor named James Bedford froze to death. Later, in 1972, Fred Chamberlain and his wife Linda founded the Alco Life Extension Foundation. Alco has been storing frozen pioneer Bedford, the first frozen man in human history. " At that time, it looked more like a theater, "Hexon said. They keep Bedford nostalgic. ""Maybe he is still alive, "he said that since he exposed himself to danger for the first time, he has the right to fight for the last chance. "Hexon wants to see his father again at the right time, which is why he chose to be frozen. He is happy to create a clone with his father and his genes. He hopes to "powerfully improve" his intelligence in this way. With this smarter mind, a mixture of father and son, he can go further. " Not on this earth, but on planets outside our solar system. "The patient was wrapped in a white plastic bag filled with dry ice and slowly cooled to-130℃. The stiff body was finally wedged into a narrow aluminum box and stuffed into an iron can filled with liquid nitrogen. Hexon is wearing a pair of beige cotton trousers, a beige military shirt and a gray T-shirt. There are three holes bitten by moths in his collar. He is single at present. He thinks that death is a necessary housework. " I don't care at all, "he said. The 60-year-old man is almost bald except for a handful of white curly hair. He wears a small iron armband next to the black digital watch. This means that he is a follower of the Alcoa Foundation, and it also contains precise instructions. When Hutchison died, his body should be disposed of as quickly and cleanly as lightning. ""This is to prevent my body tissue from being damaged in the future, "he said. Once the doctor pronounced you dead, every minute was precious. "When the brain stops blood circulation, the chemical reaction will immediately attack the brain cells and turn them into a mud ball. In order to prevent this extremely threatening injury, frozen patients should be given cardiopulmonary support. This can temporarily maintain blood circulation. At this time, in the operating room, a team composed of veterinarians, neurosurgeons and a technician began the delayed preservation procedure. The Alcoa Foundation operating room is more like a storage room with sophisticated instruments, old lighting equipment and an old operating table. There is no extremely modern equipment that you can see in science fiction movies.
