Cryonics
Cryonics refers to preserving humans and other animals with low temperatures. This is often done on patients who are too ill to be helped by present-day medicine. Although cryopreservation is not reversible in humans, it is hoped that in the future, advances in medicine will make this possible. Currently, human cryonics can only be performed on people who have been declared legally dead. Proponents of cryonics claim that a person’s personality, memories, and entire identity are stored in the brain. However, the brain rarely handles death well. Under certain circumstances, the brain may completely stop all activity, only to resume it later, but this is rare. Supporters insist that the cryo protectant is circulated through the brain, preventing damage from freezing and hopefully preserving the cells which contain our memories and identity. Those who are against cryonics point to our technological and biological limitations. Some creatures, like frogs, can survive in a partially frozen state for months before being revived, though this is not truly cryonic preservation. Current technology allows us to cryopreserve small bits of tissue – blood vessels, tissues, cells, and even small animal organs. However, technology does not allow us to reverse cryonics in humans. Cryopreservation is … Continue reading Cryonics →
The post Cryonics appeared first on Richard Cassaro.
Richard Cassaro is a journalist, speaker and author of “Written In Stone: Decoding The Secret Masonic Religion Hidden In Gothic Cathedrals And World Architecture.” The book uncovers a lost Wisdom Tradition that was practiced globally in antiquity, found memorialized in pyramids, Triptychs, and identical images worldwide. The central tenets of this tradition have been perpetuated in Western Secret Societies. The most visible of these is the so-called “Masonic Fraternity,” an age-old chivalric Order whose ranks have included Europe’s Gothic cathedral builders and America’s Founding Fathers. Richard has two websites: www.DeeperTruth.com and www.RichardCassaro.com
