Death is an inevitable truth of life, but some individuals aspire to defy mortality and live again in the future. In the United States, a lab is working to make this possibility a reality by preserving human bodies through cryopreservation. The Alcor Life Extension Foundation, a cryonics company, has already preserved over 230 bodies in the US and around 500 worldwide.
The company uses a cryopreservation process to store bodies at a temperature of -196 degrees Celsius, with the aim of reviving them in the future when medical technology advances. The process involves replacing the body's blood with a cryoprotectant solution to prevent ice crystal formation and then cooling the body to extremely low temperatures. The preserved bodies are then stored in liquid nitrogen-filled, vacuum-insulated metal containers.
The cost of preserving a whole body is approximately Rs 1.8 crore (around $250,000), while preserving only the brain costs around Rs 66 lakh (around $90,000). The company has around 1,400 employees working on this project, with the goal of extending human lifespan and potentially achieving immortality.
While this technology may seem like science fiction, it raises ethical and moral questions about the limits of human life and the potential consequences of playing God. Nevertheless, for those who can afford it, cryopreservation offers a chance to cheat death and potentially live again in the future.
