"Eh? Are we talking cryogenics here? Yes. Unfortunately, science has not yet progressed to the point where a body can be thawed out without turning to mush. Hey, ho." And even when science reaches that point they'll then need to then be able to reverse the early stages if decomposition that will have started a most immediately after death. The process is basically just another firm of embalming but people buy in to it rather than accept mortality. I can't see it ever happening | |||

I don't deny her (or, more accurately according to the judgment, her mother's) wishes and the possible comfort it might bring. | |||

"a dying 14 year old has been sold a snake oil cure for being dead that has never been shown to work to the tune of 37 grand...she died in October and the freezing has already occurred I gather... you can't eat a pork chop that's bee in the freezer for longer than 3 months because the ice crystals forming in the muscle fibres destroy their integrity...it's all a massive con...what a waste of judicial time and money" What they actually do is insert chemicals into the veins to stop crystallisation from happening, they also drain the body of all blood to help this process. The real issue with this is that the core organs i.e. Heart and Lungs start to deteriorate almost immediately after death. This means even if it was possible to thaw someone out and bring them back they would have to replace both organs as the cells would be dead. It's a shame really, I understand why the mother has done this but sometimes you just have to accept your fate even if it's the most horrid thing ever | |||

And the brain deteriorates and pretty much turns to mush quickest of all. | |||

"Eh? Are we talking cryogenics here? Yes. Unfortunately, science has not yet progressed to the point where a body can be thawed out without turning to mush. Hey, ho." Beleive the actual act of freezing in the first place effectively "kills" the body because the water in our cells expands and ruptures the cell walls. | |||

Apparently.. It's still a load of mumbo jumbo invented to part the rich and stupid with their money.. However, if it brought her comfort in her remaining days then that perhaps is priceless.. | |||

Personally if it gave a child some solace at a terrifying time then I'm all for it. Whether it ever works or not is another matter but not all that long ago common surgery was thought impossible, who knows what the next few hundred years will bring. | |||

"As I said on the other post I think it's wrong. It's giving a child in the worst circumstances false hope. " What's wrong with giving a dying child hope, false or not. If it never ever works then she'll never know will she, bless her. | |||

If it never ever works then she'll never know will she, bless her." I work with kids that have cancer teenages included, children are tougher than we know and when given the fact in a simplistic and age appropriate way they deal with it. A company is willing to take advantage of a child and family at the most vulnerable time there could ever be. The money could have been better spent on adventures (bucket list) before she passed away. The most sole destroying thing I've heard is a teenager asking his parents if he's going to die (yes he was within days) when they replied he said he had wish he would have known as he could say goodbye to people in his way rather than them feeling sorry for him. | |||
