See inside a facility that freezes people and pets after they die and stores their preserved remains upside down in cryostat chambers
Thousands of people are signed up to be frozen after they die in the hopes that they can wake up in the future.Cryonics is the process of deep-freezing human remains in the hope that a person can be resuscitated in the future.
Cryonics is a process that many people believe could help extend human life. It involves deep-freezing human remains after a person dies in the hopes that one day that person could be revived in the future. Dennis Kowalski has signed up to be preserved in a chamber that reaches freezing temperatures after death.Preservation begins after a person is declared legally dead. According to Kowalski, the sooner the process begins, the better the chance of preserving the body.
Robert Ettinger is known to be the "father of cryonics." The Cryonic Institute's first patient was his mother, Rhea Ettinger, in 1977.Today, when a body arrives at a cryonics facility, it is removed from the ice bath to undergo a process called "vitrification," meaning bodies are pumped full of an "anti-freeze solution" that was inspired by the way some animals hibernate in extremely cold temperatures, according to Kowalski.
