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

[–] potustheplant@feddit.nl 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not yet atleast, until human genetic engineering is legalized

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

[–] drosophila@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

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.

Did the scientists at least think the worms were getting better on the drums?

Perchance they are together with a Jewish bass player.

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

Several were defrosted, two woke up

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

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 2 points 1 week ago

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