  • Cryogenic Freezing Is Happening – Couple Freeze Baby To Hopefully Revive Her In The Future

    I often think I would like to freeze my body for when medical science has evolved enough to bring me back to life. Wouldn’t it be fun? It would be like when Captain America wakes up after 70 years.

    Anyway, a Thai toddler’s parents have had her cryogenically preserved after she died of a brain tumor.

    After failing to wake up one morning in April 2014, Matheryn Naovaratpong’s doctors discovered an 11cm tumour in the left side of her brain, and she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.

    After 12 rounds of brain surgery, 20 chemotherapy treatments, and 20 radiation therapy sessions, it was realised that there was nothing else to do for the little girl –  her parents turned off her life support machine on January 8th of this year.

    Her parents didn’t want her story to end there, though, and decided to have her frozen at Arizona-based Alcor, which is one of the biggest providers of this service in the world.

    Einz, as her family calls her, is now frozen at -196C at a cost of $770 a year. Before you get too excited, that’s just the “membership fee”. Her parents had to pay an initial $80 000.

    They’re hoping that by preserving the tissue cells of this particular cancer, they can come up with a better treatment plan, and maybe even eventually cure it. If you look at the global picture of what they’re trying to accomplish, it’s very altruistic.

    Fun times.

    The baby’s mother, Nareerat has said that “At least, we devoted her life and body for the progress and development of science. This is also another treat for our family, we know that she’s alive although we have been separated.”

    Uhm, I want to say she is not alive?
