  Yeah - its all bullshit. Just a pie in the sky thing to sell to people with lots of money. Reminds me of the Pharaohs being buried with all their shit as if they would live again and still have all their stuff

  I mean, if they’re frozen their cells are ruptured. Not strictly true, biologists freeze cells all the time.

    But whole humans are too big to quickfreeze. The cold just doesn’t travel fast enough through the torso and brain to not cause damage.,

    Ok, there’s maybe a workaround. There was some news years ago, about someone that replaced a pigs blood with cold saltwater + glucose to keep them in a stasis and then just pumped the blood back to revive them. That aparently worked up to a few weeks but if you find something that keeps liquid at -100°C or less (and isn’t poisonous)…

      Yeah I won’t pretend to know or care about the way it’s done for whole humans. I am dubious of its feasibility, leaning strongly towards thinking it’s just plain old exploitation of grieving people.
