Preservation of dead bodies through cryonics technology in 2 labs: Desire for life after death; Bodies are being stored after spending Rs 2 crore, hope science will bring them back to life.

Death is considered to be the physical end of the body. But some people of the world are considering it as an ‘obstacle’ and are preparing to live again in the future. According to the report of MIT Technology Review, through cryonics technology, people are preserving their body or just their brain in liquid nitrogen of 196 degrees Celsius, in the hope that in the future science will advance so much that they can be brought back to life. Cryonics is not a new technology. In 1967 James Bedford became the first person to be preserved in this manner. That means this technology is about 60 years old. Even today his body is preserved, although the technology of that time was limited and damage to the cells was more. This process begins immediately after death. The body is rapidly cooled, then special chemical cryo-protectants are added instead of blood, so that the cells do not freeze. After this, the body is slowly cooled to 196° degrees Celsius and kept in a glass-like state (vitrification). Some people preserve the entire body, while others preserve only the brain, as it is linked to memories and identity. As future technology develops, it may be possible to ‘link’ brains to new bodies or other networks. Researcher Ralph Merkle believes that this may be possible in the future with the development of nanotechnology. The biggest challenge is that cells and tissues get damaged during freezing, especially in a complex organ like the brain. Although today’s technology has become better than before, revival is still beyond the reach of science. However, many people believe that medical science will make this possible in the future. It costs Rs 2 crore to preserve the entire body. Organizations in the world like Alcor Life Extension Foundation (Arizona) and Cryonics Institute (Michigan) are providing this service. More than 500 people have been preserved under cryonics. Thousands of people have registered for the future. It would cost Rs 1.5 to 2 crore to preserve the entire body. It takes up to. Rs 60-70 lakh just for the brain (neuro-). It costs money. Many people resort to insurance.
