Search The Future



Here are thoughts about the future from one of the participants of the Street-Level Youth Media’s Summer Arts Apprenticeship Program, "Technology and the Future":

A New Way of Resurrection

2020 - As we all know a few years ago the idea of "Cryonics" came into play. This process of replacing the water in body with an anti-freeze mixture called "cryoprotectant”, which is stored in cryopreseved patients to bring them back to life to study their corpses and develop new medical cures. This medical procedure dates back to 1976 when Robert Ettinger opened the Cryonics Institute in Michigan (C.I.) to develop the idea of freezing people to research future medical advances. Today with the many advances in medicine and technology they are able to find the reversible process for cryopreservation. However scientists are still working out the many obstacles dealing with organ damage, and possible memory loss.

This system is very different from the system used in the past by scientist studying the process of cryonics. The only problem that scientists have encountered is making the body function without memory loss and to have the organs work properly again. We spoke to Dr.Nittwhite, currently working at the C.I., who explained about the discovery they found this year. He says that it was not easy, that for many years the C.I. has been trying to work on the cryonics to minimize tissue deterioration, and future potential for the body to function. Although cooling the body to below -200ºF can preserve the body for thousands of years, the process can cause additional damages such as basic brain information that encodes memory and personal identity.

From the two hundred people and pets that have been cryopreserved, only ten humans were unfrozen and still have problems with the function of their bodies. The organs are not working properly, and the C.I. found that all patients have begun to develop a virus affecting the structure and chemistry of the brain. Scientists have not yet given a name to this virus and are still figuring out how the virus developed.

If they find a way to repair body damages associated with perfusion and cooling to extremely low temperatures the rest of the bodies can be brought back to life. This is really something different and amazing that scientists from the C.I. could not figure in the past decade. Dr.Nittwhite can only hope that future medicine development can solve their many obstacles to success.
